He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. RAIA Bar in Melbourne, Australia by LAVAApril 24th, 2011 by Sumit Singhal
The designex AIA Bar explores ideas about geometry and continuous surfaces with a new outdoor façade material.  RAIA Bar
 Images Courtesy Chris Bosse The structure is based on two triangular based geometries, alternating in position as they array vertically. This results in a constant morphing between these 2 shapes. The limited stretch-ability of the material requires the shape to be subdivided into “ruled surfaces”, meaning the elements are all flat, when cut out of the sheet, but double curved when mounted.  Images Courtesy LAVA The project is part of a continuous exploration of small scale structures in order to gain knowledge for larger scale buildings. The “Snowflake” geometry applied in this pavilion forms base of the MSWCT tower in Abu Dhabi designed earlier by lava in 2008.  Plan 01 The aim is to optimize the ratio of surface to volume with a minimum amount of material.  Plan 02  Plan 03
