Workshop with Sankalp

The project was about creating a generative/ mesmerizing pavillion of

7000m x 3500m , using bamboo as the material. 

Working with Bamboo as a tensile material

The design started with the intent to explore the tensile characterist of bamboo . Thus an arc like module was thought of whose support members could weave amongst the modules forming a concised structure. Here the gif shows how the arcs were repeted to form a visual mesh like weave.

Site : Near Mahim Beach

The site we chose was the Reti Bunder Park near Mahim beach. The Pavillion forms a shaded space in the open park which can become a spot to hold various events. Its proximity to the sea required the use of a concrete plinth, to avoid the contact of bamboo and water.

Model with site

Each module repetes in a mirrored pattern forming a visual weave. But even the perpedicular members to the arcs form a weave pattern through its assembly.
