IDS students visit Hasta Shilpa Heritage Village
Mangaluru: The Indian Design School had organised a heritage tour for their students at the Hasta Shilpa Heritage Village Museum in Manipal on 25th February 2021 as part of their academic workshop for understanding the vernacular architecture and traditional interiors of South Canara. This is the first time any interior design college from Dakshina Kannada or Udupi district has conducted a heritage tour for their students.
The Hasta Shilpa Heritage Village is an open-air museum and cultural complex which aims to restore and conserve the nation's cultural wealth in the form of traditional buildings and objects of art, craft, and other artefacts of aesthetic interest. The brainchild of late Mr. Vijayanath Shenoy (1934-2017), a retired banker who converted his own home into an ethnographic museum, Heritage Village is managed by the Hasta Shilpa Trust. Over the last two decades, the Trust has relocated and restored 26 structures of immense architectural merit and fine craftsmanship. It is, indeed, a veritable treasure trove.
The heritage walks usually consist of two tours – the Northern Tour and Southern Tour, each lasting 1.5 hours with only a part of the village being showcased. However, special arrangements were made for the students of IDS so that they could have both the tours, with the tour lasting over 4 hours. To make the tour even special, one of the trust members, Mr. Harish Pai, had guided the students and provided them with complete information regarding the history of each structure, its usage, the process of restoration and ways of historical documentation. Such in-depth information is not provided during regular visits. Mr. Pai is also involved in restoration and maintenance of all the structures and had done so along with Mr. Shenoy. Mr. Pai also had an interactive session with the students and was interested in involving them in his future works due to their enthusiasm.
