Paper Tube Pavilion
Paper Tube Pavilion | 2013
More than a pavilion. More than a material. The Paper Tube Pavilion turns industrial waste into architecture, proving that ingenuity is the only real structural requirement.
This pavilion is a methodology, a sturdy skin of stitched paper tubes that bends, adapts, and holds. By prioritizing systemic logic over fixed geometry, it introduces an alternative to rigid frameworks, where material behavior dictates spatial potential rather than the other way around.
Designed in Ahmedabad, realized in Delhi, the structure rejects permanence in favor of mobility. The assembly process is dry, rapid, and scalable—an architecture that is as immediate as it is deliberate.

The pavilion extends the scope of their usability, moving beyond conventional compression-based applications to a tensile, interwoven system. Here, waste is not a limitation but a parameter that redefines how space can be structured.
