WEDGE-1

Design Agency:

Collaborative Architecture

Location:

Mumbai, India

Photographer:

Lalita Tharani & Manish

Designer:

Lalita Tharani, Mujib Ahmed

WEDGE-1 is the latest of architectonic explorations by the firm in creating projects which are highly refined in architectural morphology and yet fulfilling the programmatic agenda of the brief.

The architectural intent was to dissect the simple "shoe box" and manipulate the architectonic character of the box in the most economical way (The project had a very stringent budget limit and delivery schedule).

The space has been organized as the centripetal, pinwheel form as the central gathering space holds the different wedges around it’s periphery with its undulating volumes and roofline.

The peripheral wall sets the tone of the encounter with the exhibits with its unique cut-outs, which reveal and mask the displays simultaneously to lure the public in.
