The HEAD
The Head is where ideas take wings
Simple materials like mild steel strips have been directly modeled in the shape of human head to show the processing, assimilation and translation of raw data to great ideas and imagination. Data transformed into innovations that have contributed to human advancement and is symbolically depicted as blooming flowers, butterflies and birds soaring high. Positioning this huge 40 ft high installation right at entrance in the main atrium of IITD Techno park facility meant to nourish techno startups and incubation setups, resonates well with the function and mission of the center.
Take – Off
Driving all pioneering ideas to a new high is the raison d’être of this art installation right on the high arches of entry gate, of the Techno park center. Gleaming wings in stainless steel, brass and copper direct the vision to a brighter, advanced future and with a promise of facilitating an environment with limitless opportunities.
Bloom:
Environments nurturing innovative, technology inclined minds are meant to give fresh and simpler perspectives to the sight , with curvilinear metal pipes and nuts, bolts and gears creating a 25 ft artist’s signature styled floral art installation in the guesthouse area of the center. The view from all rooms provide a perfect breakaway delight giving much need breather to constantly working minds . Additionally it brings in the co- existence of science and nature in a strictly concrete , glass and steel building .
Conversations
This linear beauty as if rapidly sketched in mild steel rods measuring 15 ft high and 8 ft wide , right in the lobby and entrance wall of auditorium gives a little quirky element to otherwise serious space. Adding fun and conversing faces is so much relatable of the crowds mingling yet waiting to get seated to attend the event soon to start. Shared thoughts, refine and add diverse perspectives to validate the functionality of ideas.
Such spaces where freedom of articulating remain vital, are fertile grounds for creating inspiring environments for growth of humanity
