FUNDERMAX INDIA
‘The School of Architecture’ for the students of Nitte Meenakshi College of Engineering Bangalore, was imagined to be a working laboratory of architectural detail. The design objective was to highlight the corner of the building, as an ‘accented pylon’ and demonstrate ways in which a singular material can be used to protect the fenestration - as angled, vertical and horizontal elements.
