ARCHITECTURE IS LARGELY PERCIEVED AS AN EXPRESSION OF AN IDEA / CONCEPT / INTENTION . BUT ITS MANIFESTATION IS ROOTED IN REALITIES OF CONSTRUCTION AND NATURE OF MATERIALS. THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THESE ASPECTS RESULTS INTO UNIQUE AND SOME STRANGE DETAILS OF ARCHITECTURE THAT ARE COMMUNICATED THROUGH DRAWINGS. THE STUDIO FOCUSED ON TAKING A UNBUILT PROJECT BY MASTER ARCHITECT AND TRANSFERING IT TO INDIAN CONTEXT . THIS LEAD TO MANY CHANGES IN THE PROJECT AND THE END PRODUCT WAS TO MAKE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS COMMUNICATING THESE CHANGES AND DESCISION TAKEN IN TERMS OF RESPONSE TO CLIMATE , STRUCTURE , MATERIAL AND ITSEXPRESSION.
