MEHFIL - The Library Extension

The studio aims at cultivating a rounded understanding of steel as a building material and understanding the same for its limitations and opportunities with respect to its intrinsic properties. This was done through exploration at the conceptual stage in terms of form, through scaled models and conceptual sketches, to prototypes and detailed junction designs with architectural, structural drawings and 3D models. This process gave us a chance to know the negotiations that architects and structural engineers make amongst each other in order to realize a project.
