| DESIGN NAME: The Bad Cafe PRIMARY FUNCTION: Cafe INSPIRATION: The average sq. inch of skin holds 650 sweat glands and on an average there are 100,000 strands of hair on a young adult amounting to approx. 2200 strands of hair per square inch. The human tongue has approx. 2000 to 8000 taste buds. Taste buds are the receptors of taste and are involved in detecting the five elements of taste perception,sweet, sour, salty, bitter and spicy. The BAD Yoga building has 25,992 recycled pvc electrical conduits grafted onto its anatomy with surgical precision. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The architectural component was designed to facilitate yoga, gastronomical experiences, and cultural event spaces for music, art, performances, intellectual discourse and fashion. These activities are stacked vertically over three levels, including an open to sky terrace courtyard. The porous, perforated nature of the skin allows the project to breathe and ventilate thereby reinforcing the relationship between the inside and outside, between body and soul. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The project transforms from a gastronomical to a yoga experience and vice versa. The space on the first level operates as a yoga space from 7am to noon and then transforms in a space for lunch and fine dining. The program also harbors cultural event spaces for music, art, performances, intellectual discourse and fashion. These activities are stacked vertically over three levels, including an open to sky terrace courtyard. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project located in Bandra West (Mumbai, India) commenced in 2015 and completed in 2016. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |

CHALLENGE: The design development process leading to the fabrication process, given site constraints was a challenge. To mitigate the same we developed live, full scale prototypes in our studio to communicate to the contractor the ease of the fabrication process using state of the art digital fabrication tools.

NAME: The Bad Cafe PROFILE: When we’re speaking black and white, we’re only Bringing A Difference with the confluence of global thoughts, tranquil vibes and soul of food. Come by to explore everything superlative, as we have bricked up our dreams. Bhavna and Amit have tucked in a blissful culture of Yoga and F&B in Spain. Love for their respective passion and minimalism; directed energy for meeting and exploring cultures and people across the world and the spirit to lay the path of high living bricked up (literally) their dream café (Soul), Yoga & Meditation Studio (Body), Mind (Library & Community Spot) into a mesmerising structure that connects the external and internal links, just like a human body. We hope you’re convinced, that Bad actually lives. |
