Rootsthe tradition
The garden tomb, the mosque's ascent — gate to courtyard to hall — the haveli's blank street-wall, jali-filtered light, the stepwell that descends to water.
The ideawhat it values
Begin with the approach. What the eye is given first is a wall, a gate, an angle that withholds the whole until the last turn, and the building is composed as a sequence of arrivals rather than a single view. The photograph taken head-on from the axis is a summary of a thing that was never meant to be summarised.
