Helping Hands

https://ratikverma1995.wixsite.com/helpinghands
A multi disciplinary practice of architect, sociologist, social design researcher and anthropologist which tries to understand the on-ground realities through the process of research and response, and most importantly, building a connection with the people and communities. In addition, a built space may or may not be the ultimate solution to the desired problem, and hence understanding the external factors or agencies, which change from place to place, would be crucial to formulate a collective solution to the existing issues. As design may have the power, but its capacity is intimately related to the ecosystem in which it operates. And this could be best done by seeing things through the lens of humility and empathy.
