Book Studio - A Pavilion adjacent to a Banyan Tree

A library in the form of a pavilion that wraps around a banyan tree and caters to the general public that visit the garden - Kamati Baug, Vadodara. It is characterised by the idea of the book storage being restricted only to the corridor which emphasizes the movement and pause within the building at the various spaces radiating from the central corridor. The idea that one can surf through the books like they would the internet and then rest in the spaces to experience the books and the space is instilled.
