NIFT, Kangra I Archi Design Perspective

15-Jun-2014

National Institute of Fashion Design was located at Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. The campus building with the surrounding context; a visual graphic of agricultural fields rich in textual depth and variations growth, where the paths in the forests grow into the streets of a future urban fabirc and the fields translate into urban footprints. The knitting threads drawn from the xisting agricultural terraces, were woven together  to make a uniformly flowing pattern of many intersecting functional cuboids, the pattern closely follows the site contours and the design the develops vertically; as an abstraction of the way the great Himalayas developed, layers of matter folding onto each other, twisting with sudden forces, leavinng in between gaps or cracks in the process, the became the passage and places of various kinds of interactions.
