My passion for Arts, Architecture, Music and Sacred Geometry brought together this project.
I chose a simple square to start with the project. Had to create pattern out of it. While researching on the ratios and proportions for sacred geometry, i came across these musical ratios with the help of which I created the rotating pattern in a square.
And later had to create a space of that pattern, so i extruded the squares one after another and since it was derived out of musical ratios, i chose to make it an open Ampitheater which can be made in a college campus.
In India, i grew up in city of Mumbai and as like any city, Mumbai had best of colleges but never had huge campuses because of the lack of space in a city, thus I wish to dedicate a space like this "Open Ampitheater" to the place I grew up and studied in where in I couldnt get enough opportunity to do these kind of extra curricular activities than studies.
