Trampoline and Gym for the neighborhood
Project Brief: This design was created for a competition on adaptive-reuse in architecture. The brief asked for proposals to renovate an underutilized building in the place of one’s choice. Here, I picked up a multistoreyed car park in the neighborhood that was underutilized, and converted it into an open gym and trampoline park,by enclosing the structure in an envelope.
Style: The envelope around the existing structure is proposed to be made of steel frames with coloured acrylic panels at various intervals. The envelope is open in many areas to allow wind to come into the building. The arrangement of the panels also create a playful effect with lights and shadows.
