Turn Back Time – Reimagining alternative realities in present day context

PREMISE

Every path mankind has taken thus far may be a results of many small forked alternatives where one was chosen over the opposite which iterated over millenniums to shape our lifestyle today.

It is that have of creating choices/decisions that have taught us most of our lessons today that we expire to people and it’s the idea of wisdom mankind has developed thus far . Evolution has something that has spanned overages and not a couple of years, and these layers still shape us a day .

But attribute is sophisticated and has continued to baffle sociologists for ages. The fear of creating risky choices pertaining to conventional mindset evidently contains a person’s mindset tons . Invisible boundaries, divisions, orthodox ideas – all at the expense of stability and survival. Which shapes how and what our world has become.

BRIEF

Let’s take a number of the common stores we see today and place them during a medieval context. What would Subway or Big bazaar appear as if if it had been the Chola period? What would a Rajputana railroad station look like? Such questions tend to form our thoughts run wild and also mention some important questions like where we lost most of our culture and why.

The challenge here is to point out what a number of today’s public spaces would have seemed like if they were built during auld langsyne or in other words – an alternate reality.

Recreate illustrations of what different elements of a mall would’ve seemed like in medieval times, with materials, aesthetics, and social norms some time past .

The aim is to make it relatable to today’s times but in a different time period.
