In India, we dwell in buildings that we inhabit over generations. Many inhabitants of those buildings change, and eventually gradual transformations take over. Both in lifestyles and changing occupations over a period may result in changes language and lifestyles of the generations that follow. Thus, buildings almost represent a new world similar to the Legendary Tower of Babylon. I have thought of a new structure which provides such physical and planning facilities through this conceptual sketch. - B. V. Doshi, October 2018
