SHRINE  

 

Hyatt Andaz

New Delhi

​

Installation casted in Aluminium, it sits in the courtyard of the Hotel, changing the dynamics and energy of the space. An experiential and spatial artwork that attracts and generates interest amongst people who are visiting and part of events that the Hotel hosts. The pavilion is conceived as a tower which creates a sense of cocoon when the viewer is ushered inside. The fluid form is carved from inside by an organic surface that creates an internal volume yet blends seamlessly with outside form.  The idea behind this installation is to build a sensual surface which is permeable, which evokes emotions and explores the opulence of materials. In other words, the installation is the coming together of opposite but married worlds of form and fluidity, craft and technology. Through this work andblack has made a conscious attempt to deviate from mass production and explore the symbiosis of technology  and artisans knowledge. There is a sense of localism in the fabrication of this installation, yet at the same time it uses the latest digital tools and technology for design and process.
