Since childhood I have always been intrigued by buildings, by their every aspect, from the initial conception, through their construction process; till their completion. In 6 years of studying & practicing architecture, it confirmed for me that my true interest lies in the way in which buildings or projects are executed.

OPTION I: Concept: ORDER in DISORDER
The intersecting lines on the elevation give a sense of dynamism and energy. It envelopes the building and acts as a protective skin - enclosed but still connected to the outside. OPTION2: The built mass takes the form of a symmetric composition of cubic masses. The building is entered through an atrium that houses vegetation which separates the two identical halves of the building. The ground floor is enclosed by a skin of glass. thereby creating a contrast. The corners of the built form are emphasized by the composition of smaller cubic projections. Design Evolution
