The Knot by Midori Architects

The Knot-Pluralism Threaded was envisioned as a singular iconic structure which can unite the billions of minds adapted to any given context in the Indian scenario articulating pluralism and sense of belonging in today’s redefined nationalism. The metamorphosis of the form begins with the augmentation of the central control point to signify the nation’s growth over the last 73 years. The cantilever is rotated and juxtaposes the base curve, balancing the many diverse forces keeping aesthetics and safety in mind which is possible due to the TATA YST 355 hollow steel sections used. This results in ONE avant-garde geometrical knot that symbolizes the strong foundation upon which our secularism was founded.
