Durga Jagadish is a specialist in Vernacular Architecture, which is "Architecture that is Artisanal -- "Of the Craft". She says, "Vernacular architecture is an exercise of love. It's not bound by the strict rules of rationality, industrialization and modernism. It's fanciful, whimsical and innovative with an inherent structure much like the temples of India. They are as structured as much as they are fruits of loving labour and passionate innovation. The vernacular can never die, as all you have to do is just delve into your past or the collective past of your people to find a treasure trove that's yours to re-interpret and reconnect with."
