 2018, Gandhinagar

At the BSF campus of Gandhinagar, Swadhyay Reading Room has been designed by Banduksmith Studio as a robust steel structure, mimicking the ancient tradition of studying under the trees, both in terms of form and spatial arrangement.

The 160 square meter project was constructed in a short span of ten weeks.

2014, Exhibition

The second year design studio at BSSA explored adaptive systems in nature. After an in-depth research of fire ants of the Amazon forest forming rafts in flood situations, a series of diagrams and models were developed. It was found out that the air trapped in these layered rafts help them maintain buoyancy. The dynamism of how these ants stretch and cringe with their limbs, to cling on to one another, and manage to float for days was translated in an acrylic installation.
