TRAVEL THEMED STUDIOS – 2021
Foundation Studio – Tamil Sangam Landscape Edition
The first edition of the Travel Themed Studios was based on understanding the Tamil sangam landscapes that are present in the Indian subcontinent.
The Mullai Travel Themed Studio explores the forest landscape of the TAMIL NADU as a part of a concept study for the BASIC DESIGN.
Marutham are the plains with vast expansive land with a rich and a fertile land that can grow anything. Marutham is denoted by the farmland that feed the nation.
The name of the region, Kurinchi, is also the name of the famous Kurinji flower from the lofty hills of Tamil country. The Strobilanthes, a shrub whose brilliant white flowers blossom for only a few days once every ten or twelve years.
The seashore affords many examples of the compelling charm of Sangam poetry and the extraordinary freshness of its realism. From behind the conventional symbolization of waiting there emerges a picture of the life of the fisherfolk.
