A 150 sq.ft. spacecraft-inspired installation designed and built by students at the Brick School of Architecture, Pune, within a parking area.

The pavilion explores a bamboo gridshell system derived from observing shell forms in nature, where double-curved geometries achieve strength through form. Slender bamboo members create a lightweight, structurally efficient framework stabilized by geometric stiffness, with a central oculus acting as a light and ventilation aperture.

Clad with tensile fabric, the structure demonstrates cloth as an effective lightweight skin responding to the underlying frame. The project served as a hands-on exploration of bamboo as a structural material, tensile surface behavior, and the translation of organic geometries into buildable systems.

Designed and executed within an intensive 4-day workshop, the pavilion emphasizes rapid prototyping, material experimentation, and full-scale design-build learning.
