Craft emerged out of necessity and it’s an outcome of human consciousness and knowledge. Over the years, craft grew in different spheres but for craft to sustain, traditional craft skills and techniques need immediate intersection with design and reach out at the global level. The Project proposed is a Craft Emporium and Lounge in Mumbai International Airport with a vision of carving a space through Indian craftsmanship and making the waiting experience worthwhile. As airports are the 1st face of the country, it opens up a window of opportunity to reach out to the international audience.
