Spatial Rituals
Aakash weaves curtains out of twigs and roots which elongate and spread across. Sunrays are filtered out by each entanglement.
Rocks get cracked and result in weathering and erosion. He peels and plucks such weathered layers of rocks to protect the dwelling.
Staying underneath the cracks of the ground created due to dryness where sunlight falls on specific paths paving way for growth of grass.
When the dwelling gets heated up, he helps the space to cool down by splashing water across with shaved cactus trunks.
He meditates in the tunnels of twigs and roots inspired by a sociable weaver’s nest.
The groundwater levels increase due to moon‘s presence and occurs on the floorbed. Aakash enjoys jumping in the puddles on the surface.

Learning from this, the VPC includes and then abstracts cultural traditions of the exotic, exuberant and surreal. The arch, Esplanade vaults, dance halls, and other histories, all inform this process. The VPC houses resident organizations and welcomes groups for meetings, events, and projects. The building provides a public working hub, health and welfare centers, bookshop, theatrette, archives, roof terrace, and gallery. CONTEXT AND
SITE RESIDENTIAL SPACES COMMERCIAL SPACES Building around exiting structures, adding to the commercial block in the area. Accessible cars and public metros. Service entry from sub routes along with a separate bike lane with alloted parking. Smaller tenancies in the building resemble laneway shopfronts. A sacrificial timber framework integrated within these shop fronts along with hanging rails. Circulation radiates from the atrium, which provides natural light, a performance stage, an informal amphitheater at the heart of the building.
