dc.description.abstractThis thesis proposes that the holistic traditions and ancient way of life of weavers in the village of Sualkuchi, Assam, India are a forward-thinking model for sustainable urbanism. And will explore strategies to revitalize the traditional weaving heritage of a village (Sualkuchi, Assam, India) by providing a more robust platform to generate economic opportunities. The approach chosen for the benefit of the weavers’ community by taking inspirations from the past and implementing in the future, thus increasing potential. It is an institution within itself which benefits the entire complex as one unified whole. This handloom center, informal and accommodating of the weavers’ language is an interactive platform for the welfare of the weavers’ community, and for understanding of the entire country. The main objective of the project is to promote the development and sustainability of the traditional textiles and its products by creating a handloom element for the weavers of the country with proper civic arrangements and functions. It is an attempt to preserve the rich heritage of the textiles of India and save it from the clutches of extinction.en_US
