Concept

“Vuu-Maatra” words come from “Vuumir-maatra” which indicates dimension of a land .We believe that a building is a hidden dimension of an open land. Or, we can say, a building exists over an open developing land in hidden form. What type of building? How it will look like? What will be its structural system, construction method & material? The answer of these all questions is related to that land on which it will be built. Because the soil condition, the shape, the location, the climate, context, surrounding culture and socio-economic condition of the land act as a set of knives to give a proper shape to a building form. These all factors always exists with the land by nature and shaping the hidden building in the invisible reality. We just find out that building from its hidden form to visible form, through our dedication of works, knowledge of experience and creative thoughts.
