SPECULATION THROUGH DISEQUILLIBRIUM

VISHWAL RAM GOWDA & KARAN JAIN

When approach a modern concept such as 5G, it is realised that the presmise can be nothing more than the promotion of
thought of the future of technology, communication and information. To promote such abstract ideas one must promote specu-

INITIAL MASSING CONCEPT:

When trying to achieve the concept the main goal became to subvert the idea of bamboo with the help of new technology
and structure, something detached from the ground. Like how 5G will allow us to subvert information and communitcation into
new mediums.
