Anagram Architects builds Koodaaram for Kochi-Muziris Biennale in a record time of two months
Level Up is a social space outside the Export Drvo at EASA Croatia 2018, which is set to become an important venue when Rijeka becomes Europe’s culture capital 2020. From top of the pavilion opens up an exceptionally complex view, a 180 degree panorama varying from the mountains surrounding the city and chimneys of the old industrial district of Hartera to the 19th century theatre and market, the slow-flowing Dead canal with it’s small boats and Tito’s ship Galeb to the post industrial harbour and the open sea with misty mountains in the horizon.
WEsearch lab recently concluded their experimental study on ‘Waffle Structure as Canopy’ at CEPT University, Ahmedabad’s Summer Winter School (SWS) initiative. Waffle structures – technically known as stereotomy of a solid geometry – have their origin in industrial design for their usefulness in quick prototyping of complex surfaces and volumes. In few cases, waffle structures become the final embodiment of an architectural project, Metropol Parasol by Jurgen Mayer being one of the examples.
One of the first decisions jointly taken by the clients and the design team lead by SpaceMatters was to locate the pavilion in public urban spaces. While this may seem like an obvious choice, similar cultural events in India have been largely confined to institutional spaces such as museums and cultural centres.
The objective of Kamath Design Studio was to develop a family of pavilions which can be constructed as and when the programmatic needs of the institution require more structures. Each instance of the pavilion will reflect the variations in the site conditions and usage.
Sprouts project was initiated with the idea ‘when the seeds begin to sprout’. The objective was to create a landmark through a series of installations signifying growth, development and progress.
