The project revolves around the idea of controlling or leading the wind for the user to feel its presence as well as absence at some of the places. Thus creating high walls and cutting the wind through is the major highlight of the design. One also feels lost and alive at the same time, thus creating an architectural pun.

It turns out that the places that we like on our campus is attached to us by some or the other event or memories rather than the aesthetics of the place.
The quick sketches to observe our neighbourhood and the architecture and urban landscaping along with it.
Mandu, the place of nature and heritage, has much to offer to the field of architecture. The site is situated on the plains of Mandu. The site has much vegetation to offer, of which here are some of the textures of the vegetations and the rocks that are present in Mandu.
The scale and proportion of the place and its architecture in all one place. The proportion is compared to that of a human height i.e. 1.73m.
The charcoal sketches to develop the design from our previos studies and observation for the effect of different senses with the help of different words that relates to the architectural terms.
It seemed to have the justification but one thing that can be done to make it perfect was to heighten the level of the walls to hav a flow of wind and the darkness for one to feel lost.
Some of the images of the physical model to explain the desigh furthur in a 1:100 scale.
The draftings and the sections explaining the placements of the walls to the context of the design and the height of the walls in different places of the maze.
An isometric view just to elaborate the design and to easily read the position of the walls along with a rough idea of the heights at different places.
The drafted plan of the design along with the tress and humans.
