Aditya Ladha

Veil of Lost Time

The project unfolds as a translucent curtain, a threshold between the present and the sacred. Sitting in front of the gargantuan Ibrahim Rauza, the project lays low, as to not hurt the sentiments of the majestic monument. Without realizing, the project pulls you in, and as one moves through its contemplative spaces — an inviting library, serene meeting rooms, and a soothing hammam — each step draws you closer to the monumental Ibrahim Rauza. It is not just a building, but a journey, a delicate transition from the mundane to the monumental, where knowledge, gathering, and rest converge.
