HERITAGE An array of products of Yala, ranging from metal utensils to buttons and jewelry. “RENOVATION IS NOT A PROJECT, IT IS A LIFESTYLE” - MR. PRABIN CHITRAKAR, YALA For centuries, building and building maintenance has not been about hiring professional help, it was always an endeavour of the community and the family. Of course the international norms of conservation are better followed by a conservationist and perhaps the end result is also better, but conserving a building one has been living at should not be a farfetched and unaffordable task. There was a time when the ‘sikarmi’ (carpenter) living around the corner would be called upon to fix a staircase, when everyone knew how to clean their jhingati roofs and how to polish their telia floors. Today this knowhow is diminishing, with the lack of people who are aware of such technologies; hence it is important to promote the artisans who still have the traditional knowledge by promoting the lifestyle of renovation and adaptive reuse. “The people who work in these traditional arts do not realize their own capacity, yet they are the ones who are realizing these visions and who actually make it happen”, adds Mr. Chitrakar. The idea behind the renovation of the office buildings at Kwalakhu is the resurrection of this traditional technology without the intervention of any foreign knowledge or the influence of a school of design. It is not only by visiting a museum that the general public can learn of the splendours of this place, at Yala the visitors can feels the space around them and hopefully can get inspired to adapt these ideas into their own homes. Even with all the potential social benefits of the endeavours at Yala, it is important to note that these actions are not only for a social cause, there is a professional, promotional and business aspect to this place and all that is done here. The highlight is that the place and the people have realized a way that will cause promotion as well as preservation. spacesnepal.com 46 May - June 2012
