SMRITIVAN
- Designed by · Mukul Goyal
Smritivan Earthquake Memorial & Museum in Gujarat is a landmark memorial complex dedicated to remembering the lives lost in the 2001 earthquake and celebrating the resilience and renewal of the region. Completed in 2022, the project brings together architecture, landscape, art and storytelling within one of India's most significant memorial destinations.
As part of this larger project, Vinton contributed to the execution of PRA - VAAH, an orientation sculpture designed by Mukul Goyal and engineered by Manjunath B.L., with Vastu Shilpa Consultants as the architects and Design Factory India(DFI) as the design consultant.
Vinton's scope focused on the prefabrication and installation of the sculpture's core structure with connecting beads.Translating the sculptural geometry into a stable, precisely assembled physical structure required careful fabrication, dimensional control and coordinated installation on site.Each component was prefabricated to work as part of the larger structural composition, allowing the sculpture to achieve its intended form and presence.
The execution demanded a balance of structural precision and sensitivity to the sculptural character of the work, ensuring that the finished installation remained faithful to the original design intent while meeting the practical demands of fabrication and installation.
