( On the site )
The project gained recognition after winning Campus Connect, leading to its selection for execution in Mumbai, where the entire installation was successfully designed, coordinated, and executed within an intense 10-day timeline and on-ground fabrication, material sourcing, vendor coordination, and labor management to final installation setup—translating concept into reality at scale under tight time and resource constraints.
( Recoginition )
In its final stage, the project moved into production, allowing the design to be brought to life through refined materials, processes, and execution.
