From large-scale food courts in Hubballi to rapid-response art installations, I focus on creating public spaces that encourage interaction, awareness, and comfort. ## Photos and videos - ![A view looking up from inside the "Plastreen" installation.

By integrating planters and internal trees throughout the large volume, we successfully mellowed the scale, creating the intimate, shaded feeling of a garden restaurant rather than a generic public hall. My design principles for commercial and public spaces mirror my residential work—they are deeply rooted in the idea of the 'built and unbuilt.' Whether it is a dining space or an exhibit, the goal is to enhance the user's experience of the environment. ### Commercial Design Philosophy Commercial projects, like the Foods Arena, often demand efficiency in construction. The PEB system allows for vast, column-free spans, but this often risks feeling sterile or overwhelming. My approach involves using color and landscape to bring the architecture down to a human scale. The use of red for the superstructure adds warmth, while the internal greenery acts as a natural separator, creating cozy pockets within a large footprint. ### Installations & Public Awareness Installations like 'Plastreen' serve a different purpose: they are tactile, temporary, and meant to provoke thought. Designing this required a rigorous approach to collaboration and speed—the entire process, from ideation to execution, was completed in just six working days. We used a wire mesh cage filled with plastic waste to create the exterior 'shell,' contrasting sharply with the living green sanctuary hidden inside. This structure wasn't just about form; it was a functioning tool for public awareness at the ACETECH exhibition, demonstrating that even temporary architecture can hold a permanent message. Whether it is a public-facing art piece or a functional commercial hub, I believe in balancing the rigid requirements of the site with a soft, natural aesthetic that resonates with people. ## About Chandrakant S. Kanthigavi I am Chandrakant. I believe that commercial spaces and installations should be as thought-provoking as the homes we inhabit. I view every project, large or small, as an opportunity to bridge the gap between people and the natural world. [See all of Chandrakant S.
