The building of Khoj, in its present shape and form, and with its numerous stairs and landings, creates a spatial framework that almost directly alludes to these “inventions” of Piranesi. It is this possibility of an imagined interiorized landscape that we visualize, and seek to express. Within the white walls, the stairs, the landings and with the tree – mixing the real with the imagined, the permanent, with the transient, the accessible with the inaccessible. Thus creating a surreal centre-piece around which the present building might re-organize itself notionally.
