The phenomena is from the scene of the movie mirror where there is a flashback of the bursting of an atom bomb during the war. The burst creates a cloud of gases and at the same time a cloud of particles is created around it

The phenomenon of standing at an edge of a building where you have an anxiety whether you are going to fall and having the sense of instability within yourself seeing the depth
Principle
A system of busting particles of dust which will create a dust cloud and then be collected on a surface, and burst again in a loop.
Apparatus
A valley condition where the blowers are placed at the bottom of the valleys which blows out the dust creating a dust cloud which when settles on the sloping surface can seep down and can be again collected at the valley and can then be busted again from the valley thus repeating the process.
Pavilion
A dust pavilion by combining valleys with different angles of sloping surfaces at different levels and creating a walking edge at top of the surfaces thus creating an edge.
Site
Site
To create a wood workshop space the site in a college campus which is in Amravati. We chose this site because there is a big ground and empty spaces around such that the dust which is produced by strong winds or children playing on grounds could also be welcomed by the structure can be allowed to settle on the surfaces so this drawing is where we tried to depict the dust on the site which comes from the grounds and roads nearby.

Making intersections
To achieve the valley condition we marked the diff spaces on the site which are necessary for the program then we created a grid along it and from the grid we identified some intersecting spaces where a valley can be achieved.
To set up the mechanism we thought of using suction pipes which will suck the dust and store it in the gutter from where the blowers can form the dust clouds. The materiality will also help in forming a dusty surface since we are using a jute rope mesh which will be on the top of a polycarbonate sheet. This will also help in bringing in light through the dust.

The spaces such as the courtyard formed in the middle the paths at the top of the valley becomes an experiential space for the observer, where the observer feels the dust which is usually disposed of, making the structure a landscape of dust.
