Angha Poster
Angha is one of the creatures who is mostly assimilated with nature. It does not need complicated machines that ease the creature and unnecessary technologies to ruin his way of life. Angha’s dwelling is inspired by a Dutch architect, Aldo van Eyck, who said: “Humanism within full of original ideas of architectural design needs to be developed and Functionalism should be rejected.” He also showed a distinct preference for Structuralist as well as Humanist values within his completed projects that generated a subtle, innovative and appropriate architecture which effectively meets user needs.
Angha basically lives in the woods or a forest. It is a herbivorous and a vermivorous creature that is very mild in nature. However, threatening their family, foods or habitat get on gentle Angha’s nerves and show Herculean strength. Angha loves to have a sunbath in a quiet atmosphere. He also enjoys swimming and consumes larvae under the water. It has got thick body skins that can protect him from the cold weather and enemies with its strong horns. Angha’s arms are well evolved to grab something and swim in a shallow pond. His short and hefty legs are to support his heavy body. Angha peacefully coexists with other herbivorous or vermivorous creatures and sometimes get along with them. It is not only secure but also Angha likes to be socializing. Especially, Angha likes to live with the birds since they catch worms for him and Angha gives shelter for them on the top of his dwelling. Where ever in friendly forest Angha can settle.
To conclude, the design of the Angha’s dwelling is communing with nature. The material of its dwelling is eco-friendly forest-coloured real stone. Stone are generally classified by mineral and chemical composition by the texture of the constituent particles and by the processes that formed them. This makes Angha comfortable while it dwells. It is surely strong house and also hardly visible by its colour for the eyes of enemies. That gives the sense of stability and simple firmness to everyone. And as Angha is fundamentally assimilated with nature and not need anything functional. This interlocks smoothly the idea of van Eyck, “Humanism within full of original ideas of architectural design, not Functionalism” and the way of Angha being.
