EducatedWe tried to capture the spirit of Kalam and translate it into a spatial experience using elements of space while keeping in mind the impact this has on the visitor, their flow and circulation.

The aim was to change peoples’ perception of bamboo products from being cheap, inferior and ‘craftsy’ to a contemporary, sleek and modern image.
BAMBOO CANOPYRHIZOME + EKALAVYA FOUNDATION + TBDC
BRIEF : Create a flexible travelling exhibition system that displays the products of the three organisations and reflects their philosophy of sustainable design.
THE CONCEPT
A rhizome when separated into pieces can give rise to a new plant from each piece. This process can go on endlessly.
Taking inspiration from this, I chose fractals, geometric forms that have the property of potentially infinite repetition.

The ultimate aim is to • To generate awareness on our cultural
heritage, which leads to its preservation• Connect people to their past• Preserve the characteristic of the city and
make them feel proud of their culture
04. communicating heritage through public spaces
SHARED HERITAGE‘Shared heritage’ is an attempt to bring the museum to the object rather than the other way round
Before After
SAUDAGIRI (1840 - 1940)Textiles for export
Designs from Thailand. Derived from architectural motif
Blocks made and printing done in India and exported
SIAM (THAILAND)
GUJARAT
The project aimed at communicating the changing identities of Saudagiri textiles that were once dried on the river bed of the Sabarmati river. These textiles are no more manufactured
NOW AND THEN
the installation shows the changing identities of a space by giving the chance to be in the past and the present at the same time. It also shows how these two worlds effortlessly merge into one another and from one to another
01.
Look of blown away sand unearthing the past can be at multiple spaces having different prints / sam-ples of fabric
SANDS OF TIME02.
‘DYING DRYING’
The form of the installation is inspired the bamboo scaf-foldings on which cloth is dried even to this day but is slowly dying. The installation shows the process of making of the fabric, where it starts from a plain white cloth and ends up as a printed textile.
On looking from the front, one can see numerous printed saudagiri textiles

A play about a sperm donor and the inter connectedness of the people involved. We made a tape installation representing the sticky situation that people are caught in
07. Spatial installations for plays to be showcased for a festival
VENUE DESIGN
CLIENT : Rage Productions
SITE: Prithvi Theatre, Mumbai
BRIEF:
To design the venue for a theatre festival, Writers Bloc.Our job involved reading and analysing the plays and coming up with spatial installations for the same. These installations were intended to generate interest and act like teasers to the plays.
01.
A play about de - addiction for satellite junkies. We made a 2 sided tv that makes one question the boundaries between real and reel life
Natak Nakko - a play that is not a play ! The unrestricted expression of emotion seen in the play is represented by bold colored cloth coming out from different mouth expressions

Interactive installation made from glass bottles. The installation is a game of ‘tic tac toe’.
The person with 3 crosses or knots in a line wins!

EXPLORING PLASTICS
All of us have stories that we keep within ourselves, secrets we hide from the world, sometimes because we fear how the world will judge us. The installation provides for these unheard stories to be ‘uncaged’.
