“[This is] a handsomely produced book that details the results of a thorough research and conservation project for Panjab University’s Gandhi Bhawan.”
Antoine Wilmering, The Getty Foundation, in the Foreword

At the same time, it is a meditation on what separates architecture from mere design and building, on the life of buildings, on the graph from conception to realisation to eventual, inevitable ruin—the full life-cycle of the process of architectural conception.”
