Internship: Making booklets

Holding Water, Exhibition

A set of 8 booklets was made for the exhibition held in Delhi describing the ideas and process of design.

Holding Water

Water camouflages itself with its container. It is transparent and anomalous, finding its own balance. Water escapes us; it is ethereal, and yet an elixir for life. Water insulates; it is versatile. With depleting water resources, to hold water has become imperative. Holding water; in ways that it is natural and integral to our being; unresisting and innate. How does architecture, the built form, integrate water in design?

The architectural experiment looks at water and its attributes as a building material, building houses and communities,bringing water from the past into the future. Water being immortal. The installation is designed to ignite the senses and is a pause; to think of, “be- ing water”- transparent and pure,when we are, as they say, made of water.
