Brief
To design an interactive environment similar to that of a blog in a natural setting.

Design Intent
An organic shaped ‘cocoon-like’ modular units or pods that can accommodate kids with similar interests in technology and nature in each of the pods. We want to subvert the traditional notion of the amphitheatre and create a colorful and exciting ambience wherein the kids are fascinated with the shapes and colors of the pods place in the amphi-theatre area.

Process
The pod and the landscape are in constant dialogue thereby each of them continuously negotiating the respective profiles. The silk worm shell was used as a form generator for the pods in order to denote the concept of being born from nature and belong to nature.
