The project started with choosing a natural object - Hermit Crab. Understanding the creature, extracting absolute truths about the same. Capturing the essence,  deriving motif, patterns and textures. Then choosing a context that best fits the selected element (Veraval), researching about the site, developing a problem statement and a big idea to narrow down the project. 
The next part focuses on execution - integration of the natural element functionally and aesthetically. Design development, Narrative, Contextual renders, product renders and infographics were the final outcome of this project.
