We test architectural limits through temporary pavilions and installations. These projects are our way of experimenting with new materials and public engagement strategies in Mumbai.

The BMW Guggenheim Lab, a temporary public pavilion we designed in Mumbai. This structure, built with a diagrid roof of bamboo, served as a hub for workshops and public talks, demonstrating our interest in sustainable materials and community-focused architecture.

About Additional Work & Design Explorations

When we designed the BMW Guggenheim Lab, we were not just building a structure; we were testing the structural possibilities of bamboo in an urban setting. Using a diagrid roof allowed us to create a vast, open space without the need for heavy, permanent foundations. It is a practical example of how sustainable, temporary architecture can effectively facilitate community dialogue and public programming without leaving a permanent footprint on the site.
