Hrushikesh Bijal Shah

The Contemplation of Earth

The first part consisted of a case study of  Rauch House and later the design project was set in the Parimal garden, Ahmedabad. The program consisted of  creating a pause amidst the hustle of the city. My approach to it was to create space without losing the open sky and camouflage the building into the landscape. Material exploration was done in  Rammed earth  throughout the design process.
