PRESENCE IN ABSENCE - GPPB50

BLACK TAJ | PRESENCE IN ABSENCE

The intervention attempts to celebrate the Taj Mahal as an epitome of architectural poetry and the physical manifestation of a soulful proposition of the mighty builder Shah Jahan.

Whereas, the Black Taj reveals its emptiness through three-dimensional spatial projection. The emptiness holds the space, where the people are purged and aligned by the ecstatic illumination and perfection of the Taj Mahal.

The obsessive insistence in refining the space that is bold yet calm, as a force that is able to penetrate and reveal the mystery of the human condition.

The environment is conceived as an urban catalyst that creates space for people of diverse cultures to exchange experiences and knowledge. Thus, allowing us to appreciate past wisdom and construct a progressive future.
