MOVING SHADOWS

The project 'Moving Shadows' is an entrance pavilion to the CEPT University facing the library from the east. This western entrance has a strong sense of direction, one entering from the south canteen is lead through this kinetic walkway. Both the roof and enclosure of which are a single moving entity pivoted with each other. The synchronized movement of these eight units results in a beautiful play of light and shadow that constantly moves. Plinth is developed on both sides to create seating spaces and the kinetic roof and pergola on either sides enhance and exaggerate its experience.
