The station madness
Borivali station was the site given to us for exploration. I began by observing the many forces and movements that define the station ,the constant rush of people, the shifting flows of bodies, and the tension between speed and stillness. I translated these observations into drawings, attempting to capture not just the physical movement but also the invisible pressures that shape the experience of the station.
In this sketch, I explored the force embedded in a bridge connecting the platforms. The human body, in its urgency to catch a local train, seemed to stretch into tension, while at the same time, the act of entering the crowded train created a sense of compression. This duality of tension and compression became the language of my drawing.
In the next stage, I began to overlay architectural elements onto these sketches. By introducing elevations and partial plans within the same drawing, I allowed different readings to emerge. The result was a composition that revealed space in multiple ways,simultaneously as movement, as structure, and as lived experience.
Later, we were asked to design a device that could connect with the body and be embodied through it. I explored the idea of rotation as a way of perceiving space, which led me to create a spherical form made of wire and paper. One could enter inside this sphere and experience multiple ways of seeing and engaging with space.
