This studio focuses on design and analysis of Steel structures. The final outcome of this studio was an art centre located at Gandhinagar which was designed keeping both-architectural and structural concepts in mind. The design process of this art centre started out from taking inspiration from the lake adjoining the site given to us. Like water, I wanted the structure to be free-flowing and organic in nature. An umbrella-like roof is supported by a central column with beams pointing out in a radial pattern. These beams are supported by knee-brackets on the bottom and wire rope cable from the top.
