Modular Potency is a seating artefact designed for the Kamla Nehru zoological park situated in Maninnagar, Ahemdabad. The form of the artefact is inspired by a jackal. The jackal and the form both show a key sense of triangularity and dynamism which has been reflected. The arrangement of the form itself and on the site can comfortably accommodate a range of people from a single visitor to a large group Placed under a tree in a fairly open space, the artefact provides welcoming comfortable and spacious seating for the tired visitors passing by, producing a sense of curiosity through the modular cantilevered seats on both sides of the concrete block.

Gestalt laws were understood and explored by physically visiting the interior spaces and deciphering the laws in those spaces.
The elements and principles of design were explored by making a cross grid between the two along with a visual analysis of the painting "Happy Accidents of The Swing"
2d and 3d Radii manipulation were learnt by performing form integration exercises in different mediums and materials.
Drawing connections and making forms between two endforms or shapes were explored.
An introduction to the project and study of the site was done
Concept derivation of the form is shown in the sheet where jackal was the key inspiration
All the technical drawings and dimensions are mentioned
Material and joinery details are presented in the sheet
Final form of the artefact along with final physical model and the 1:1 joinery model are shown in the sheet
Contextual renders and placement of the model on the site is presented on the sheet.
