Center for Innovation and Business Incubation

The studio challenges the conventional design strategies of establishing the ‘key idea’ or founding concept and taking it to nut & bolt details by employing the exactly opposite approach. While designing details that are independent of context, the only drivers are the 5 elementary forces - Tension, Compression, Shear, Bending and Torsion. A true understanding of these forces conceives form, that is further shaped by material studies. This detail is then morphed to fit various physical, socio-cultural, economic and environmental factors that enable it to stand firm in the built environment.
