Core practice and philosophy

ParamitaLab views its work as a continuous, iterative process of exploration and manifestation. Through the exchange and refinement of ideas, we foster a collaborative environment that cultivates resonant transformation. This transformation emerges not from immediate results, but from a deeper understanding gained through shared experiences.

Learning by Doing in Context

Our practice embodies a "learning by doing" approach within a specific context. This includes:

Skill Development and Application: We actively engage in activities that enhance existing skills and acquire new ones relevant to the project.
Context-Sensitive Adaptation: We continuously learn and adapt our methods based on the unique circumstances of each project.
Contribution and Discovery: We view our practice as a contribution to a larger field, potentially leading to unforeseen discoveries or applications.

This practice operates as a continuous cycle. We engage in activities, reflect on the context to refine our approach, and then utilize these refinements to create something new. This iterative process of "doing, reflecting, adapting" ultimately leads to a transformative outcome we term "resonant transformation."

Project evolution through exploration and collaboration

Each project begins with a central question that evolves organically over time. Through exploration, discovery and shared experience, the core of the question is gradually revealed and embodied. We use a sensing process to open up the initial inquiry, and by sharing different perspectives, a collaborative process of creation emerges. This collaborative approach considers the interplay of physical materials, ideas and values within a specific context, ultimately leading to a case-by-case intervention.

Participatory engagement

Our practice can be participatory, involving temporary, task-oriented groups sharing experiences of making and creating the new.

Focus Areas

In our practice, we prioritize the following key areas:

Context: The environment in which the work takes place, encompassing its financial model.
Qualities: The characteristics that define our practice.
Values: The core principles and beliefs that guide our work.
Impact: The observable changes and outcomes that result from our practice.
Skills: The technical and focus skills required for our work.
Outcomes: Both the tangible and intangible results of our practice.
