Folds of the Forest

INTRODUCTION

The forest is imagined through a series of folds where the built form blends in with the forest. Furthermore, it looks upon the forest as an interconnected network of living organisms and natural processes. Folds happen at particular angles that make it possible for one to walk, sit, and inhabit the spaces in multiple ways. Connected to one another through a series of pathways along the trees of the forest The intervention is a series of small Bamboo pavilions which act as pause points when one moves in the woods. The program includes office space, a resource center, a workshop for yoga, a workshop for pottery, a cafe, and a few shops. The shops and cafe blur the edge, by opening themselves to the street. The two workshops act as a gathering space for the people from the nearby settlement, where they could conduct or participate in various kinds of activities like pottery, music, gardening, etc.
