PRERNA AGGARWAL STUDIO ARDETE FOAID 2020

Project Name The client, Mr. ManojBansal, owns a business of plywood, laminate and decorative surfaces from the past 20 years. He approached us for the interiors for an extension of his existing retail Timber Rhyme space. He wished to expand his business and venture into decorative and hi-end veneers. He was looking for a comfortable and interesting and retail space for his clients. Location The design problem was posed with an existing 71’ by 18’ linear block in a market complex of Chandigarh the modern city of Chandigarh. Timber Rhyme became the voice given to the material sold by the store owner/client—who deals with veneers and plywood, and tells the story of the traditional relationship between the craftsman and wood. The result is an interior-installation instantly poetic: a “spatial matrix” that has evocative ribbons of wood twisting and turning within the space, almost like it has a mind of its own. Due to shift in times and new engineered materials, the dialogue between a carpenter and a product has perished. The installation is a byproduct of this concern, an elemental ribbon that can be the subject of a conversation while being a facilitator of the same. The design process involved ribbons that were digitally fabricated with the help of a definition in Grasshopper, a computational design tool, which led to the formulation of plywood ribs of doubly-curved geometries that interlocked at 6-inch intervals. This “waffle structure” was then put together with use of 19mm plywood ribs, 3mm Flexi-ply, and 1.5 mm paper veneer—each cut and handled by the carpenters. The craftsmen further jig-sawed the rib in-situ, in unidirectional arrangement. While the technology formulated the development of the design, the carpenters took ownership of the creation with their experience and “telltale knowledge”. 491
