An Indivisible Margin Of Error
Dhurv Jani
In 1832 Professor James P Fielding wrote a story about two itinerant travellers, who claimed to have stumbled upon the ninth observatory of Matsyapur. This was a remarkable claim, Because it anchored back to a fabled gathering of astronomers at Matsyapur. A gathering whose purpose was to deliberate one of the causes of an inscrutable error that had played the celestial observations. In this search for this error they decided to interrogate the universe by constructing nine observatories, each to a different scale and each I don’t with instruments of cosmic inquiry. The unwavering quantum they searched for was to be called: truti. A measure, so minute that they believed it to be a building block of the universe itself. Five of the nine observation were hidden amidst the yatras of Maharaja Jai Singh‘s creations, three others book plundered and now lie in decay. Only one remains unrecorded, the ninth and the most Spectacular of all. It is this observation tree that the two travellers told fielding about. It is this observation tree that we seek to recreate, in a series of interactive vignettes played across scales of endless reception.

A Wall as a Room
Samira Rathod Design Atelier
The mean streets are the principal bazaars; I need size, and the arcades of the palaces, temples and houses, are the shops of the artisans, who are seen working almost in the open air at their traders, the tailors, the shoemakers , the goldsmiths, armorers, pastry-cooks, confectioners, coppersmiths, etc. The grain merchant occupy very spacious huts of thatch, constructed in a sort of coarse latticework,… In the midst of the main street. (Quotation from Victor Jacquemont’s Impressions of Jaipur & Amber in 1832 in Jadunath Sarkar - A history of Jaipur)
This installation redefines the utilitarian purpose off the wall as a separator of space to be the container of space itself. One may find a Cross architectural history how walls have been used as places for hiding, service and shelter. The palaces of Jaipur work out a unique architecture of the skin that leave large open spaces bounded within thinwall buildings that can be occupied. In several urban areas today, walls have become infrastructures and extensions from homes and temporal entrepreneurship. Learning from many such examples, the installation attempts to rethink the architectural elements of the wall not as separator, but something that brings people together. The ‘Wall as a Room’ is an experiment in anthropometric norms, material, and spatial experience of one’s habitat. It provokes us to think of inhabiting the boundaries between the inside and the outside; private and public; the individual and the other.
