The design is an attempted exploration of a building expression that has emerged through the systematic investigation and analysis of material and its forms . Details have been derived through a exercises with physical constrains that helped us arrive at a certain profile and system . These derived forms were further refined to arrive at a building language that has emerged purely on the basis of this study . The urban crafts center is one such attempt of a building expression. Materials such has metal ,timber and ply have been used in different ratios in each element according to the systematic requirement that the structure demands. Also other factors such as climate study and material strength were key forces is deriving the outcome . Certain mechanisms incorporated in the structure make the nature of the spaces more transformable .
