__SIN beams__

Very dear friends Rucita Zagzap and Kush Patel (of Raagin Karman) designed a beautiful factory using Sin beams - it was a visual treat and as always had a truckload of information exchange when I visited them with my other close friends Priya Kanchan and Yashashree Nighot. 

Many thanks for allowing me to take and share some pictures

__ arteries and veins__

Arteries and veins in a human body carry the blood to and from heart. Bones form the skeleton and skin covers it up all. The organs could be used as analogies for a building under use. Any building has all these components - services ( arteries and veins), structural system (skeleton) and facade (skin).

Its is amazing to watch the services being laid in place - the digging, chasing, tacking. So aptly and surreptitiously that one doesn't notice it until something goes amiss. Here are some images of such work in progress
