"As different imaginations sit next to each other — where land values, access to space, and hope for a better living will struggle for survival and identity — urban neighbourhoods will be geographies of new complexities, varying social and economic values jostling for space and existence. In such a situation, how is the architect to respond? A house recently designed in a Delhi neighbourhood precisely jostles with these questions — as evident in its design — and decides to adopt the trope of the veil, one that preserves yet connects, one that is transparent yet contains a privacy."
