Kochi Biennale
In light of colossal demolitions and subsequent debris that fill our cities, and architecture that continues to be an indispensable commodity, this pavilion is conceived as a container - formed from a dual narrative - one, of the ubiquitous debris from ruthless demolition of buildings, and another of the poetics of construction - an honest admission of materials and methods we use during the making of buildings which are subsequently removed, or often remain hidden under its skin, unknown.
It is this , that we want to celebrate, and bring forth the pain, the risk and challenges faced in manifestation of an architecture, we measure as beautiful - and remains a joy forever, for in our veins flow ink and fire.
The pavilion unfolds a large singular space under a large singular roof that touches the ground, made from terracotta debris, inspired from the many roofs of Kochi.
