MACHINE FOR EXPERIENCE

Villa Shodhan is an embodiment of architectural poetry. It showcased the intricate dance between mass and void creating a dynamic rhythm and an invitation to explore: the interplay of plane, space and light, the interconnected spaces, the relation between indoor and outdoor, private and closed spaces and the seamless integration of nature. I merged all these concepts under the title “MACHINE FOR EXPERIENCE”. The result provides a multi-sensory experience evoking a multitude of emotions simultaneously; creating an architectural promenade; unveiling a new perspective at each step and a fresh experience of space.
My second project was based on PARKOUR that was at the core of the design process. Since PARKOUR requires different levels of difficulties, different possibilities, higher distance, procession of jumping, spaces inviting to different movement, I designed a space of different platforms that vary in size and height, that create interconnected spaces with different layers. The discipline of parkour and its image of freedom, were translated by preserving a specific architectural language and by creating open spaces with a sense of fluidity.
