Kinetic Roof

The project is set along a plinth on the east side of the CEPT University's Library. The 'Kinetic Roof' is part of a space that acts as a pavilion in between the campus and the exterior parking and canteen. The idea behind Kinetic roof emerged out from a simple moving toy with simple mechanism. Later by adding planes and creating volumes a space was designed, which  is based on a simple grid and gives a sense of  a floating structure, where people can interact, while experiencing the sight of a moving roof at the same time.
