Kalavaav - Kapadvanj Institute for arts and craft

Through exercises that emphasize intangible, social, cultural, and contextual factors, the studio investigates the fundamentals of tectonics and design. These realizations lead to a finished project in Kapadwanj, a location with a rich cultural background and strict intervention guidelines. The program entails creating an institute with a research department, administrative areas, and workshops. Inspired by the ancient Kund Vaav, a reversible, modular system was created to overcome the site's difficulties. This method guarantees flexibility, honors the site's cultural legacy, and satisfies practical requirements, resulting in a design that complements its surroundings while providing modern utility.
