Fluid Paradise

This project tries to reflect the qualities from the set design and the initially selected object which served as the foundation for the entire design process. Taking a simple cube, carving out volumes, and bringing in the qualities of the selected object was the first step towards understanding the part-to-whole relationship. Some of the qualities of the host-parasite explorations have also found its way back into the final design alongside catering to the functional requirements that the program demands. 
The project is the design for three different artisan’s studio namely, a wooden toy making, handloom, and pottery studio alongside their respective retail stores, and public workshops. The project aims to provide opportunities for the arts and crafts of Ahmedabad to flourish and enlighten people about them.
