LONDONDERRY AIR

This project aims to create a place for people to indulge and experience life at NID-Ahmedabad. This building gives spaces like the multifunctional exhibition gallery and NIDUS for the students to exhibit and present their creativity and talents. A place like a cafeteria invites students, faculties, and visitors to get together and learn from each other. The folds within a surface in the musicscape model have inspired the kinetic part. The kinetic element opens up to extend a closed space into a semi-open one.
