A Tale of A Thousand Views

A story, like a tensigrity structure, finds its strength in the tension between its elements, where every narrative thread and character arc serves as a vital tension member. Just as the structure's stability relies on the interplay of compression and tension elements, a compelling story thrives on the balance of its plot twists, character development, and thematic layers. Interventions such as subplots and symbolic motifs act as the cladding and exhibition panels, enhancing the story's depth and engaging the audience in its intricate design. To talk about such stories, the design talks about the possibility of a space adaptable to the story’s narrative; Defamiliar and responding to different contexts spread across the Old City of Ahmedabad.
