CONCEPT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nThe structure was composed of Tetrahedrons and Octahedrons, signifying our environmental problems which are piling up, heaping upon each other, soon to be beyond our control. The surface was composed of flattened tin cans which reflected the image of the person in front of it showing the self-absorbent human. There were five openings in the structure, inside which the environmental issues were brought to light with a bamboo torch. With each problem, we had a badge uniquely signifying the issue at large. To engage the visitors, we had badges for them to take away, to wear them as support for the cause and to adhere in the individual the responsibility to take actions, even the smallest ones, for our environment.<\/p>\n
MATERIAL CONCEPT<\/strong><\/p>\nSCRAP ALUMINUM TIN CANS<\/span><\/p>\nThe reflective surface of the tin cans symbolized the threshold between the conscious and the unconscious. We reused disposed tin cans as they were reflective, low cost, light-weight and ductile.<\/p>\n
BAMBOO TORCH<\/span><\/p>\nThrough the torch, we were literally trying to bring light upon the reality of our surroundings. Bamboo is a sustainable, cost-efficient and a durable material.<\/p>\n
CHARCOAL<\/span><\/p>\nCreating darkness through coal defines how we push major global concerns into the back of our minds and never contemplate on them. Coal is a natural and an organic substitute of the color black.<\/p>\n
CARDBOARD<\/span><\/p>\nWe used waste cardboard sheets for the complete structure. It is a recyclable and an inexpensive medium, due to being lightweight, it is also easily transportable.<\/p>\n
JUTE ROPE<\/span><\/p>\nJute is an organic and environment-friendly material which we used to hang the tags identifying the problems.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been coming to FOAID for
\nmany years & it\u2019s looking more
\n& more interesting. I think the
\ncollaboration that takes place right
\nfrom the senior architects to the
\nyoung architects & students has
\nbeen a great experience.
\nThe theme is very apt, as we have
\nbeen unconditioned many years
\nago but to put that into perspective
\nis a good idea.\u201d

\nHiranandani Group<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cLook Beyond\u201d is an idea,
\nexpressing concern to bring our
\nattention towards the issues of our
\nenvironment. We human beings
\ntend to be self-absorbed and often
\nforget to \u2018look beyond\u2019 ourselves.
\nBut in today\u2019s time, can we even
\nafford to do that? At the cost of the
\nplace that we inhabit?
