Amidst the lush greenery of Kamatibaug, a book studio in the context of an enormous banyan tree. Pods rooted at random points around the tree are an abstraction made from the aerial roots of the banyan tree which grow long, as they mark coordinates at random points below the canopy. The journey through the floating walkways is guided by a strong hierarchy in dimensions of the modules. The structure of the module is specially designed with optimum use of foundation not to disturb the extensive root network of the tree. A site interactive design, which not only fulfills its functional requirement but also respects and pays homage to nature around.
