The M.A.C. (Music, Art & Cultural academy) will be the place where children, parents and tutors can gather and meet other citizens of Thiruvannamalai, India. The building is conceived as a semitransparent wall, a sort of curly ribbon changing its curvature and height: the actual gathering space is placed at the end of this spiral.

The perforated texture reduces the sense of enclosure, while people approaching the building can perceive overlapping surfaces. Poster boards will be placed along the wall to narrate the NGO history. Beside being a spatial sequence marking a path to the Hall, the wall visually represents a chronological journey from the beginnings of the NGO till now.
