"Vriksha Kund": An Ode to the Courtyard

The void formed by the overlapping circumference of three trees’ foliage evolves into a vibrant gathering space – the courtyard, or kund. Strategically positioned at the heart of the site, this sunken courtyard anchors its surroundings, drawing in the landscape while descending into the earth to create a powerful central focus. The kund transcends its role as a spatial element, dissolving the boundaries of surrounding functions and asserting itself as a bold, dynamic statement.
