# 0408 : grid house


mumbai, maharashtra, india. october 2005
home

this was the final model being made for the 'grid house' project (krvia : 2nd yr : sem iii). my concept started with the phenomena of energy transfer when a set of arranged carrom-coins are broken. this project was the transition from the abstract / conceptual projects of 2nd yr (transient landmarks and grid house) to the more formal one (community centre in bikaner). it was also the one that the folks at home found the most difficult to relate to. but how can a house form be derived from carrom coins was a question that remained un-explainable for a long time.

    thanks Kunal. Why a house should be based on the energy of carrom coins being broken is still inexplicable!

    Now 1969, for the year of the summer of love and my birth year.

    @ sanjay: i think we had to choose some sort of phenomena, and i had chosen the carrom coins
