a place to PAUSE, a form to WANDER around

A visitor's center in the city of Ahmedabad that is designed through a systems approach - where the systems determine the articulation of form. Conceptualizing through systems allows to engage with the materiality and tectonics of architecture in a more articulated manner. This process is not just about creating buildings; it's about crafting experiences. By embracing a holistic approach to design that prioritizes integration, innovation, and materiality, we were able to transcend the constraints of traditional architectural practice and create spaces that inspire, delight, and endure.
