About Discussions Projects66 Journals80 Publications6 Competitions2

Pavilions function as architectural interventions that prioritize openness and connection to their surroundings. These structures range from cultural centers and community spaces to intimate tea houses and display pavilions, each responding to specific programmatic and environmental contexts.

The community explores pavilions through material experimentation, landscape integration, and cultural expression. Work here examines how folded concrete, mirrored surfaces, glass walls, and locally-sourced materials create distinct spatial experiences while engaging with regional identity and natural settings.

SLUM AUTONOMY - A PARADOX

The idea is to design a balcony for slum dwellers, (rehabilitated into new housing apartments)by understanding their lifestyle & activities in slums and how efficiently space was used. The project aims at providing a multifunctional use of balcony which gives them a sense of independence in terms of its usability and variations according to their needs.

A marriage of sustainable materials with modern fabrication technologies, the pavilion features two rejuvenating zones that appeal to different demographics. Regardless of zone, the form is perforated to create an enchanting dialogue between dark and light, night and day.

Towards the new normal

This pavilion is directed toward the understanding of the concept of negative space in relation to interior and exterior environmental situations. The form is devoted to a series of abstract visual experiences designed to develop awareness of space and of the relationship of forms to a particular negative volume.
