जिंदगी फुर्सत है लेकिन, जीने वालों को फुर्सत कहाँ? 101 नुसके मनोरंजन के नुस्को मे फुर्सत कहाँ? दो धडकनो के बीच की फुर्सत, जानने को दिल बेताब रहा. आदतोंसे मजबूर, इस दिल और दिमाग को एक लम्हे की फुर्सत कहाँ? बडी मुद्दत के बाद जब हम तुम मिलें, हमारे दिलों ने एक ही तमन्ना की, के ईस तरह मिलते रहने की "फुर्सत" सब को मिलें.
The lack of physical space in today's world seems to be a big issue, especially in the overpopulated cities which we have accepted as a norm. What is daunting and omnipresent is the lack of mental/psychological space. Our overthinking and burden of our own self leave very little space for something new to take place in our brains.
Architecture and design deal with both these issues. In our day-to-day living, the absence of both physical and psychological space should naturally lead us to find Fursat. When one experiences any of the architecturally meaningful buildings, one cannot miss the attention to detail that is an inherent part of its conceptualization and construction. Human existence on this planet is old enough to find such architecture very close to wherever one may live on this planet.
Having said that, as an architect practicing in the most affluent era of human existence, one is often disheartened to find no connection with the masterpieces that were achieved in the past. There are many obvious reasons that one can cite for this overall degradation of what we, as humans, are creating, calling it 'our physical environment' in which we live our daily lives. One of the prime reasons for this degradation seems to me the lack of attention and awareness.
How to bring back that attention and awareness is a challenge that Fursat Space, as an entity, would like to face. Fursat shall be 'a sangha', 'a family' of dedicated people who would come together in order to learn eternally and bring back the attention and awareness, nurturing it through the act of selflessly constructing architecture. The skills and technical knowledge will be shared and practiced through routine training modules.
The training will primarily focus on collaboration and cooperation techniques with an emphasis on selflessness and hence the presence of love and empathy. A set of skilled people that is aware of the potential of collaboration, at the base of which is understanding oneself, will sustain and thrive on the limitless energy of the Space Fursat. Those who would like to experiment with Fursat may not be skilled as a prerequisite, but they will have to get trained in one or many skill sets of the construction work. They will be paid a reasonable stipend during the training period.
The training modules may be run on live construction sites or in a dedicated training center. Whenever there is no work on-site, the team shall concentrate on training and upscaling of skills and systems of collaborative effort. During these times also, the members of Fursat will be paid the minimum wages, which can be recovered from past/future commissions.
There will be a constant/consistent effort to excel, with an emphasis on collaboration that will lead to an 'Open to all', 'Truthful', and 'Transparent' coexistence that will be independent of any kind of authority. Although the functional hierarchical structure will be a necessity for the organized effort in order to achieve what is planned, this hierarchy will have no relevance whatsoever in the relationships within the Sangha apart from the organized effort.
Fursat will bring back the love, calmness, and peace that are the origin of everything that is beautiful.
