A Portal to the Past

Reference from the ruins of the past is the premise of the unfinished in the project. Going back to the origin and genesis of the city, the site is imagined as being a fragment of the city. 
Translating it on site, the project being on the opposite of this historical old city, is imagined as a mirage of the past, with the river acting as the datum connecting the two. Elements inspired from the local history from during the Gujarat Sultanate period, is taken as the repetitive element, which by itself or as a fragment gets manifested across scales of the project.
