The project is Toolguild a research and development facility, recently set up in Ahmedabad. Tool Guild is derived from tool as the MIC works as a tool for society to solve material related problems and guild is a group of people working together to achieve a goal. Society being the primary user, it is the main driving force of the MIC. The space planning and articulation of elements in the space are analogous to a city plaza which is a vital component of an urbanized society. 

The first step of the process which is site analysis which lead into developing a concept statement for the MIC. The first impression sketches were drawn imagining the look and feel of the space.
The 2D drawings were converted into models which were made to understand the division and proximity of the spaces.
Furniture plan and reflected ceiling plan were made upon considering the city plaza as an analogy
Sections were cut across the plan to understand the scale of the volumes designed.
Sections helped in depicting the aesthetics of the space.
Sectional perspective helped in visualizing the space at a greater depth.
Sequential Diagrams shows the entire process of how a whole to part approach in designing was achieved through various design decisions.
Exploded Isometric view of the space Shows the relationship and articulation of each space making element with other.
Renders were prepared to understand light , shadow and mood of various division of space.
