PORTFOLIO Updated.

Sepia Pavilion

Installation made for photography exhibition during the annual college festival UTOPIA along with Shobitha Jacob.

The idea was to create a twisting tunnel that encloses the space along the wall of our college canteen so as to let people walk through the pavilion from either sides. Since the two of us have never really tried working with bamboo, with the curiosity, we decided to go with bamboo for achieving the desired structure. Most of the bamboo joinery are knots, the Japanese square lash knot; except for the ones at the ground. Shall get those details in photographs soon. The idea of hanging the photographs with cloth like scrolls came up on the final day. It also helped us in enhancing the enclosed nature of this space as the structure felt too open due to less number of bamboo members.

The structure being a very simple idea, getting it executed was a challenge right from detailing out the joinery to the amount of physical effort involved. With all the market surveys, looking for different possible details and opinions from different shopkeepers at the Ajmeri Gate Market in around a span of 12 days, we were able to complete the pavilion (including design). Though the twisting effect did not turn up as we expected but there was a lot of learning that happened during the process of execution.

Cover Page Design

Continuing with my addiction to the triangles, this time it was the cover-page design competition for the college annual report. With a very short notice of 3 days and in the middle of our Urban Design Pre- Final submissions, the triangles were a really convincing choice to create a backdrop here. With very less text to go on the cover-page, I focused on creating an interesting and simple back drop which would allow me to play with the text. Within half an hour managed to create the basic pattern of triangles in grayscale. In the next ten minutes I started trying out gradient effects and blend options and got this very effect I have finally used.

Once the competition results were announced and mine shortlisted as the winner, the faculty asks me to make it look more formal i.e, without the tilt in the text as the office people won't understand the graphic and they are more keen on the content. Also had to align the SPA Logo within the triangle, something I missed in the original design.

Printed back to back. 6 invites on one A3, Matte Finish, 250gsm paper.
The original ones I made were with a blue backdrop. As it was disagreed by the rest of the team, it had to be re- worked out.
