ELEVATION
The main principle of the structure “Bishram” is that it is a self supporting structure in which the total push equals total pull and the structure doesn’t depend on gravity. The members acts as isolated components and the compressed members do not touch each other. The prestressed tensioned members are arranged along with the compressed members to make the system stable. The concept aims to provide stable structure with aesthetical design that is pleasing to look at, functional in it’s use, sustainable in nature. Combining hyperboloid on two sides, setting one side free for public approach. The structure bleeds out towards sky when looked from bottom to the top of pavilion.
