Although I couldn't find any pictures on her webpage, I will attempt to generally clarify the interesting work that Sukshma has produced this week. Like the previous people I have reviewed, Sukshma was part of the laser cutting group who were entrusted in creating a tram stop design that would be located somewhere along a proposed new Historical Tram route that would be within our large triangle expressed at the start of the year.
Her tram stop idea consisted of the tram stop being placed on The Strand, located on a large roof top span that was surrounded on both sides by rising building complexes and connected to a rough. cliff like hill edge on the back leading to the streets above. Her tram stop was to be inspired by the weathering process of these back cliffs and with the idea of her tram stop being orientated around the fact of it being the an Al Fresco dining experience with the tram stop being the terminal stop on the tram route. The stop, on the Parnell roof tops would aim to emulate the end cliffs being made from a descending flow of weather rock like glacial layers that drop from the cliff edge that would lead to the street behind to the rooftop area below.
What is impressive about Sukshma's design is her meticulous detailing with many of the small metal cross-braces being laser cut from a few forked section that are 2-mm wide, creating a life like process of construction even at a tiny scale. With its positioning between the surrounding buildings, Sukshma has further explained that at night one traveling or staying at the tram stop would skip all the industrial views of the area at night, with the Al Fresco dining experience constructing their main view and visual impact on the building rooftop, with a final mention that the entire structure is supported by rods that go from the descending floor slabs and metal connections to the facades of the surrounding buildings.
