Aranyani Pavilion: Sacred Nature, New Delhi, India,

The Aranyani Pavilion is conceived as a contemporary interpretation of the sacred grove,  a spatial environment where architecture, landscape, and craft exist in quiet reciprocity. The pavilion’s primary structure is formed from bamboo, establishing a lightweight yet resilient framework that reflects both ecological sensitivity and deep-rooted craft traditions. This structural system is complemented by woven and assembled lantana, bringing together digital design methodologies with traditional handcraft.

The pavilion unfolds as a gradual spatial trajectory that encourages slow movement, reflection, and sensory engagement with texture, shade, and light. By transforming lantana, an invasive species in India that requires ecological removal, into a primary architectural element, the project proposes a narrative of regeneration, where environmental stewardship and cultural craft become inseparable from architectural expression.
