Aqua Arch | Tensigrity Pavilion

This project aims to design a visually striking pavilion inspired by the tensigrity principle, situated on a cliff near Bhuj. The pavilion will embody structural integrity through a network of tensioned cables and compression elements, creating a lightweight and resilient form. The design process incorporating research of the topic "Dynamics of Diving", following the abstraction process and arriving at a form and iterative prototyping of testing the structure. The pavilion should seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings, offering a unique space for contemplation and interaction.
