The experience of travelling alone to Sri Lanka and the moment when finally i met the class in Kandy City.











HOUSE NO 11,  BAWA HOUSE


After visiting all the Bawa projects, I chose to incorporate some of the characteristic Bawa elements like the Pergola and the Shallow water pool around which i placed a flight of stairs which took you to through the exhibition space and led you the the terrace of the Bawa House.

INDIAN EMBASSY COMPLEX

           The Cinnamon Gardens is a site with some very important Government Buildings around the Independence Memorial. Considering that the Independence Memorial has open green lawns on all four sides, I thought that merging the existing landscape into the Indian Embassy Complex would break away the idea of an Embassy being a very reserved, secured structure and would in turn become like a playful contoured site on which the functions could happen over as well as under the ground level.
