THE NECK OF GIRAFFE is a viewing deck designed in tensile structure system. It is located in deserted region of Lakhpat Kutch, which has potential of becoming center of tourist attraction. The spiral form of viewing deck comes through the process of abstraction and tectonics of the neck movement of giraffe while doing various activities like fighting. The derived form has arrived through the process of refining abstraction by arriving at constant factors that defines the form which resembles the idea of abstraction. This helped in defining constant values to the variables which define its unique spiral form around 480degrees.
BOOKLET 

Abstraction of selected natural object Giraffe Abstracting a particular
STAGE: 3D Abstraction & Transformation Exploring abstracted forms in different material to understand the structural system the form suggests and to understand how the form can further be used to develop tectonic expression
CASE STUDY: JCB & Helix Bridge Understanding the nature of structure, form and Joinery Details and there response to one another STUDYING STRUCTURE FORM AND JOINERY DETAILS
TECTONICS: Using Abstraction to develop and refine a form with help of tectonic expression of material. Through this stage we arrived at conclusion that the spiral form can best be supported with minimal use of material and energy in tensile structure system.
Exploration and Refining Form happened along with developing tectonic expression in detailing and reiterating structural system. EXPLORATION AND REFINING FORM WHILE RESOLVING TECTONICAL DETAILS AND OTHER CONCERNS RELATED TO MATERIAL AND SITE
Detains of joineries at various junctions
Exploded drawing explaining the details of design and structure
Rendered Views and plan and section of design
1:20 scale physical model Resolving details at a different scale with different set of material which try to represent the main material to create a working model and understand how the system is delt with in real life situation and how it will be constructed in real scale as well.
