Pushp Gallery at Bhuj

A foldable urban device to operate as a workshop space for the common people to come learn the art of garland making. It would be located right on the plaza and would operate with the help of an organisation that would promote these artists. The main structured frames are designed such that they would fold into a compact box and could be placed anywhere on the plaza. These frames are made of reinforcement steel bars. Through industrial coating, their functional texture becomes a decorative element once painted. The structure is devised to intervene in the dead memorial space to optimise and elevate generic motion in the plaza.

Final design module which has 2 display panels, one infographic panel, a central module for storage and one panel to make a seating arrangement and a seating spread arrangement for the vendor to come teach them.
