Both placed opposite to ingress initiates a desire to walk. Represented through the ribbon that pours itself into space. The site was converted into a spatial matrix, as the ribbon gets developed, by selecting a series of spatial coordinates joined together to formulate doubly curved solids.

Each Felix-ply joint was filled with wood filler and sanded as required.

Wood-art has been an integral part of Indian history. Sutradhar community, according to legend, are the carpenters(also known as ‘badhaee’) descended from Maya, the son of Vishwakarma (the divine engineer). Till date, Vishwakarma day is celebrated in India; and as customary the craftsmen worship their tools.

The ribbon is manifested as a framework of plywood ribs that were digitally fabricated with the help of a definition developed in Grasshopper. To interpolate the doubly curved geometries, these were subdivided into a network of plywood ribs in x and y directions, interlocking at 6 inches interval.

As plywood-carpentry meets its en tropic spiral, ‘Timber rhyme’ hopes to create an opportunity to re-imagine craft of the traditional curves, as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the next generation of torchbearers of intricate carvings.
