THE FALCIFORM SHADE

The Falciform Shade is a Space Frame roofing structure for shading the railway station of Vastrapur, Ahmedabad. The design of this structure is conceptualized by playing with parametric geometry and levels which welcomes the visitors to have a peaceful time and recreate under its immense ambiance. The north light openings provide a bright and fresh experience, and the placement of columns does not restrict any activity inside the railway station. The entire space frame structure has been analyzed through software and the connections and members have been designed to optimize the structural stability.Click here for a detailed portfolio.
