About the project
The thesis focuses on taking art as an inspiration, a point of departure and how architecture can come about by taking it as a design process. The entry although, focuses on the design part of the design generates from building up a series of diagrams that express the work style of Eisenman with the author’s interpretation. The idea of the pavilion here is to create a very landscape-oriented design where people engage with the contextual heritage of the garden with some momentary pauses generated by the design. It is through this that the landscape elements start emerging where adults and children both engage with them and it serves as a positive activity generator on the site. With this, the focus is to create some sunken landscaped gardens that emerge through the traces of lines being generated from the process. In addition to this, there is a focus on the functional part of the design that is a Visitor Center and an Open Air Amphitheater.
