A thing or two about facilitation that I learned from an Indian architect

Significantly, my first encounter with Doshi and his Vastu Shilpa Foundation (The Art of Substance, aka Environmental Design), was not through any of the many architectural discovery tours I undertook in Asia in the 1980s and 1990s. It was through social work. I had been involved with a One Hundred Houses for the Destitute project in Bodhgaya, Bihar — where I used to spend many months every year studying Buddhist philosophy and practice. In my off-time, I helped a local foundation called Jeevan Deep (Light of Life) raise a network of community and educational projects for the socially marginalized and downtrodden. The communities I worked with, typically, lived on tiny plots of land allotted to them, between the landed estates of the old-money landowners, on the fields of whom they labored. <a href="https://medium.com/resourceful-exformation/a-thing-or-two-about-facilitation-that-i-learned-from-an-indian-architect-726b8cbc731d">Website</a>
