8.2 acres Kerala India
Sangath’s story
Tribals of Madhya Pradesh Inspired by the work of the street artist Tenten, Sangath takes inspiration from lines that share a relationship with each other, an emotive array. Multiple planes express emotions well and sangath adapts this principle to help introduce art in landscape. Urban space for tribal arts
Plan The seed of the array originates from the already existing Iqbal Maiden pole.The array leads to the Bada talaab offering various views created by staggering planes that offer a canvas for art. Artscapes that can influence space and people over time.

Scoop
10 acres Moon
Moon settlement
Scoop is an innovative hemispherical moon settlement. Scoop has been designed to provide an alternative solution to living on the moon by providing an atmosphere relative to the gravity of the moon.Scoop derives its name from the mechanism by which RING ‘ scoops’ out the excess of the crater to form the settlement.
Scoop’s story
RING is an improved robot / machine that is propelled on to the moon.Aligned with spokes , RING aprroaches the crater and places itself over it. With a radius of 56 m, the RING is formed from 16m sections that can be replaced separately during maintenance.
Due to the comparatively lower gravity of the moon, people would prefer jumping as the preferred mode of travel. Architecture is subjective to the gravity of the planet and in this case hemisphere would be an ideal solution. .
RING scoops out the excess soil from the crater to the top where its banked to protect it from further meteors.During this time, each spoke carves a deeper penetrateion which is used as caves by humans.Theses caves protect humans from the harmful harsh solar rays.
After the settlement is constructed , the ring acts as an energy source and a sun dial for the whole system. It eventually becomes the icon for the settlement.
