The students of Architectural Design VII at RV College of Architecture undertook a four-day immersive site visit to Anegundi from 1–4 August, as part of the ANTARALA studio, which explores architecture through Myth, Memory, Meaning and Metamorphosis.

Recognised as a craft tourism village and located within the larger UNESCO World Heritage landscape of Hampi, Anegundi offered a rich living context for students to engage with the intersections of culture, craft, community and the built environment.

Through thematic documentation, students explored the town’s spatial, cultural and material characteristics, gaining insights into its evolving landscape and local ways of making and living. The studio also received immense support from INTACH,Anegundi, its Convener Ms. Shama Pawar, with insightful sessions at the Cultural Industries Centre and The Kishkinda Trust.

One of the highlights of the visit was the interaction with local craft practitioners and workshops, where students observed the transformation of locally available materials into contemporary craft products. These encounters offered a deeper understanding of local knowledge systems, livelihoods and the evolving identity of Anegundi as a craft-based tourism destination.
Students also undertook birdwatching and nature-observation trails to understand the region’s ecology and its delicate relationship with the built environment.

Such immersive experiences reaffirm the importance of learning from place, people and practice—bridging the classroom with the living realities of our cultural landscapes.

Every great design begins with a blank canvas.

At RVCA, creativity is encouraged, ideas are challenged and imagination is given the space to grow. Because the world doesn't just need designers, it needs people who can see possibilities where others see limits.
