Gearing Light and Shadow

Designing includes dynamic and shuttle spatial changes in nature. Displacement in light, volume, expression, density, velocity are the main factors in cold and dry site conditions of Ladakh. The design is climate responsive. The rotating walls creates play of light and shadow at the place of plug-in. Due to extreme cold conditions, the south facade has major openings but the course of wind direction in winters this openings creates trouble. As a solution, this design allows small and big voids at a same time. Clockwise and anti clockwise rotation of wooden planks creates beautiful patterns with light.
