Directory for Traditional Building Crafts is India’s first-ever initiative for preserving and promoting the building crafts across the country, that are on the verge of going into oblivion due to lack of patronage. Heritage Craft and Community Division realizes the real need for orienting young artisans, architects, designers, and builders to utilize and disseminate the existing knowledge of building crafts; revive and rejuvenate the skills and energies of the artisans, by providing appropriate opportunities and channels, such as workshops, exposure visits, cross-cultural learning exercises, and creation of a network of like-minded organizations. ‘Building with Bricks’ is the second volume of the series. The publication details out the forgotten craft of brick, in spite of brick still being used prominently in the construction industry in Punjab and Haryana. It focuses on documenting different types of bricks, brick sizes, ways of production, details of construction in various forms including ornamentation, documenting the available traditional knowledge and craftsmen engaged with historic brick making as well as working with them. The study also brings forth the challenges of working with brick, lack of continuity of craftsman, and craftsmanship, which poses a major threat to the conservation of traditional buildings with bricks.
