Narrative: Design-a-muse competition is aimed at visualising an abstract art as a three-dimensional form. It began from understanding a 20th century abstract art style, choosing any one artform from it and extruding its essence in a structure. Suprelion is a public installation inspired by the Suprematist painting ‘The 18th Construction’. Emotions are evoked by colours and textures- this is the principle used in suprematism and thus the painting selected. Each part of the installation invokes a distinct feeling when approached visually or physically. These feelings are inspired from the components in the painting. ‘The 18th construction‘ is a completely abstract painting that is open for interpretation while following the principles.

Narrative: The hustle-bustle, the pollution and numerous problems fabricate the city in only one emotion of black and white and neutrality. The dichotomy of these emotions is seen as we get introduced to a village. Villages induce calmness and contentment, which a city life lacks, afflicting us more to that space. The village accommodates various structures, having a particular function, each provoking a distinct emotion. These emotions are implied through the colors stimulating them. All the houses in the village transmit positivity, confidence, and security, which is conveyed through the color blue. The orange library projects an idea of enthusiasm to read books and offers creativity to visualize it. The hospital, which requires tranquility and well-being, is manifested by the color green. The red color of the community hall depicts the excitement and energizes us to celebrate the activity held there. The excitement and happiness of the school and garden are portrayed through the color yellow. The presence of color is evident in everything we perceive and, to express the space we have represented through various colors associated with a specific emotion. This vivid graphic comprises forms of architectural drawings, namely plans, sections and isometrics, breaking the usual way of representing space in a fixed only monotonous way.

The studio has different allocated spaces according to the artist's needs, for instance, Sculpting-space, Exhibition space, Area for dusting and washing of materials, Storage space and space for making drawings. These spaces were derived based on the artist's works. The process followed to develop the design was to extract 2D and 3D diagrams from his works and convert them to meaningful spaces, which finally became a design. This project helped me to understand how to balance opaque elements with lighter ones. The curves and planes in the layout were solid walls. The addition of linear objects balanced the design by creating comfortable spaces. Previous Next Grid Studio

Kailasha is designated as the abode of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology, where it is described as heaven on Earth. It is a famous pilgrimage site with cultural importance. This description from Shivapura describes Shiva bringing Sati after their marriage to show different sites and scenes of the Himalayas. Their journey starts from the foothill kingdom to the summit of the mountain peak. Reaching the summit, Sati suggests the Bairagi Shiva settle down and build an abode in Mt. Kailasha at the onset of the rainy season. It describes varied landscapes of various peaks of the Himalayas with the transformation in the landscape with different climatic conditions at different altitudes. The description highlights the diversity of flora and fauna found across the Himalayan region with other famous phenomena such as golden mountains at sunrise. The sceneries closely coincide with the existing landscape quality and altitude wise vegetational zones of the area. Previous Next Kailash - The Abode of Shiva

The arrangement of trees is a peculiar note. Also the serpentine gallery has a driveway approach.Serpentine Pavilion is located in the lawn of the Serpentine Gallery which has a main driving access and multiple radiating approaches . The site is also near to the Serpentine river and has a formal manicured landscape with various arrangements of trees. The landscape arrangement of the setting portrays a contrast in terms of tree arrangement. The tree line near the serpentine Victorian structure is linearly aligned one-point perspective to border a user walking path, inducing a sense of direction and imparts formality in user-movement. These trees are equally spaced and all being of the same type and size. On the other hand , the unequal sizes and densities of trees gives an organic informal character to the landscape setting. We observe the cloud like nature of the for. and how this organic nature merges with the sky as well as the landscape. Here we have created a color palette to show how different colors in the context create different spatial feels when perceived together, like the sky along with latticework and anti slip glass creates a limitless feel. The sky weather and lattice creates a mystical feel together, the lattice work along with the manicured landscape and sky creates a distinction between the foreground and background, whereas the contrast of the lattice work to the night sky and trees creates a focus on the pavilion at night.

These spaces were derived based on the artist's works. The process followed to develop the design was to extract 2D and 3D diagrams from his works and convert them to meaningful spaces, which finally became a design. Hence the idea was to create a space that closely represented the artist as well as fulfilled the purpose it was made for. Keeping in touch with his ideologies, the space came to represent a form that is simple- one that is rooted to its surroundings just like the artist it was meant to represent. A space with strong visual connections allowing one to be secluded and connected at the same time. A form that has unity and variety in its orientation and made of materials derived from his vernacular Indian background. Previous Next The Artist Retreat

These visual boundaries are perceived for their nature, character, construct, materiality, and function. They enclose Space. Studying the various aspects of these visual boundaries and their organization has led us to begin to perceive the basic constructs of space and the relationship it possesses to the movement of various bodies in space. In the due course of observing and recognizing we stumble upon various organizational constructs of field, space, and movement documented through photographs and drawings. We perceived and analyzed the organization and construct of field and space and the resulting movement of the body in the particular field of space through the construction of diagrams, maps, and models.
