Shah Vruti Takshal

IR2030

 The site is located in Riverfront Park on the Sabarmati Riverfront, Ahmedabad. The reason for selecting the particular site was to make the place more active, since it being open to the sky, no activities were happening throughout the day. The activity proposed is a Gathering space and a Food stall, with dry food. As food stall requires a table (ideal height 900mm) and gathering space requires a seat (ideal height 450mm), the main intention was to create both the functions in one module as there is a specific ratio. Hence, the module is designed in a way that caters to both the functions; a seat and a table with a deployment ratio 1:2. The module was developed after exploring different scissor mechanisms which can be seen in the below link.https://issuu.com/vruti/docs/exploration_of_scissor_and_origami_mechnism
