tata structura charkha project

‘Charkha’, the winning entry in “Notions of India” design competition, the project draws its inspiration from the ‘spinning wheel’ symbol promoted by Mahatma Gandhi to illustrate contemporary India’s spectrum of social and cultural dimensions.

Composed of a series of triangular frames, the sculptural piece is a spatially dynamic structure that seemingly shifts its form depending on the viewer’s vantage point.

Each of the triangular units are individually unique, representing the notion of ‘unity in diversity’ as well as the nation’s richness of multi cultures.
