Understanding the concept of minimal length through gravity and surface tension with the help of the experiments conducted by Frei Otto. This is done using different types of threads and solutions of different viscosity exploring the possibilities of surface tension and how gravity acts on it.

Understanding the concept of funicular structures by exploring different forms that can be achieve when certain forces act upon thread in suspension .
Exploring the different techniques of imagining and making different forms using paper pulp and the moong dal.
This is done using different processes like heating process, boiling process.
Composite material consist of two component or it is a combination of fibres and binder. Trying different combinations of fibre and binder to attain rigidity are what the experiments about. The set of experiments with different fibers and binders also focus on methods of processing composite material 1. Mixture 2. Layering
Weaving is conventionally considered as a 2 dimensional "process" , mostly in the context of fabrics. This research intends to explore the concept of 3 dimensional weaving through the conventional 2d weaving processes . Further investigating the process through the understanding of materials , their combinations.
Understanding the idea of patterns and layering to create specific form is the main intent of this project. This process is inspired by the process of 3D printing in which making drawings of design, depositing material through different tools, creating patterns and layering it to create form and design are involved.
The idea of mud structure to create a curved form of walls with the help of bamboo sticks. And to find different types of methods to experiment on mud casting.
Experimenting with how complexly a material sheet folds forming a homogeneous form.
Studying and designing structures that substitute joints, cables and various elements that are used to keep the structure stable with elastic membranes
The idea of using air cavities for form generation process . Breaking the conventional logics and devising new geometries and possibilities that respond to phenomenological aspects of space as well as engineering the material.
