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.

Nav/Laya - A Confluence
The greatest aspect of Jaipur is that its map prepared before constructing the city and the city was constructed as per the map… Roads cut each other on the same angles… The main road from the east to west is 111 feet wide and 2 miles and 40 yards long. Three wide roads intersect it. A wide Road originates from the palace gates known as Tripolia gate. This Road divides the town situated between the second and the third major roads. Thus nine rhombuses have been formed. In Jaipur it is known as Chaukori. The nine rhombuses have been kept as a symbol of nine treasures of Kuber, The gold of affluence. The north western end has been merged in the Amer mountains. Hence eight rhombuses have been made with oblong area; one has been built in its South, three have been made equal actually do in the east. Rajendra Shankar Bhatt- Sawai Jai Singh 1972.
Nav/Laya is it juxtaposition of the work of Abin design studio with Navagraha mandala - original Jaipur city plan and the base of Correa’s Jawahar Kala Kendra. While ‘nav’ represents the absolute (nine), ‘laya’ is both dissolution and merging, morphing in its meaning with context. The installation is aligned with the twist that Correa uses to mimic the deviation in Jaipur’s plan. In the pavilion, people inhabit the space in-between the stable grid of pathways and the transforming canopies.

Five Gardens
Samir Raut
Behold! Here are new trees, new leaves, new branches new flowers, new beautiful parrots sit on them. New bees humming and birds are singing their tunes. There a new peacocks, parrots, chakoras. New koel is going and producing new notes. Sawai Jaisaha Maharaj Mukatmani has his Jainivas Garden with perennial spring reining therein. There are many temples here… There are wells step wells in Gardens, the Mansagar is overflowing with the river is flowing swiftly. (from a poem by Girdhari- Bhojanasara, 1739)
Five Gardens emerges from studies of the several house plans. Material here is explored for both structure and details. The pavilion/house reveals its self to the surrounding landscape, flora and phone out in normal assemblies. The project intimately plays with economy of material, pleasure of craft and lightness of structure. While the pavilion seamlessly connects the outside with the inside, it leads itself to create personalised spaces within its self.

The Malleability of all things Solid
Note Book Series
M. Pravat
Lives are shaped by the built environments that we inhabit. And as much as humans occupy architectural spaces, architecture also occupies a unique place in human sensibilities. Images and materials are central to the idea of space and form. This work explores the configuring of images and material to words imagining newer ideas of space.
The space of architecture is a project that delves into architects notebooks, elevation, plans, blueprints and collages. Architects and planners depend excessively on drawings to conceptualise space. This work mimics the process of drawing. In many ways the work interrogates the process of producing architecture through reprocessing the drawing.

Maan Singh was commanded by Akbar to march beyond the Indus and put down the rebellion in Kabul. The great commander hesitated as the River Indus what is the limit for the medieval Hindus. The point at which the river was traditionally crossed by non-Hindus has been labelled by the Hindus as the uttuk (Attock) or barrier. Responding to the hesitation of Maan Singh, Akbar wrote a couplet to be sent to Maan Singh:
Sub hain bhum Gopal ka
Jis me uttuk kahan?
Jis ke man me uttuk hai
So een uttuk hoega.
The whole earth belongs to God
where is the barrier in it?
He who is mind has a barrier
will always find itself bound.
maan Singh cross the river and crush the rebellion in Kabul.
The Floating Roof
The Urban Project
The floating roof is a spatial organism blurring the distinctions between land, sky, the built and the unbuilt. It’s never touch is the land or the sky, but restlessly meditates in between. It hopes to bring alive the fear and joys of its inhabitants.

ख़्वाब सा (Khwaab Sa)
Directed by Atul Kumar “We cannot know whose dream this is……….
Perhaps, Quince dreamt of Titania, and Titania imagined lovers, while lovers dreamt of Puck, and Puck conjured up a donkey.
In dreams there are no anchors; images and sounds waft in and out of the mind. Often becoming so real, so under the skin that a dreamer could fall or fly or even remain suspended mid-air, all the while cocooned in the warmth of a blanket.
Inspired by the bizarre and extraordinary quality of a human dream, The Company Theatre presents an ensemble of 16 dancers, actors, singers and musicians, all weaving together a landscape of Shakespeare’s fantastical vision, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Drawing in Space
Parul Gupta
Drawing in space is a project based on special narrative and questions of perception. This spatial exploration can we post somewhere between installation and abstract line drawings. The work is response to clear architectural forms, space and their illusionary character. It aims to create a special experience of form and volumes created merely by lines.

The work interrogates have landscape is transformed by intrusion on marking, while architecture itself gives way to landscape. The emergent firms give rise to Navi typologies-on one hand as a cavernous building, as the other as a seemingly estrange object. Instead of functional programmatic consideration, The figure ground drawing emphasis universal experiential qualities at the same time magnifying specific image it characteristics of the context. The installation is a three-dimensional “Nolli” object that’s straddles between volumetric abstraction of space and its relation to both geography and experiential sequencing.

Special Puzzles
Milind Mahale
special anthropological investor Ness is one of the most important characteristics of Correa’s built as well as unbuilt works. The playful reformulation represent here invite viewers to explore the weight of ideas hidden in several of Correa’s project.

Nine such ideas are articulated here in the form of puzzles: inside outside continuum, upstairs-downstairs vertical continuum, building painting continuum, incremental and geometric progressions, Empty Centre, making of new ground, multiplying/humanising possibilities of infrastructure, making a great into Labyrinth and multiplication/replications of the same elements to create new experience. The special passes are developed as provocations and are based on many of Charles Correa‘s buildings- Tube House, Artist Village, Himdustan Pavilion, Jawahar Kala Kendra, Gandhi Ashram, Bharat Bhavan, Kanchenjunga, Kala Academy and City Centre Mall.
