Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: A peek into the past is like a pause. It makes you think deeply to uplift hidden
and suppressed emotions. Such pauses, fueled with learnings, help us discover
our own abilities and to strengthen our visions.
One such short sketching journey of the majestic Daulatabad Fort unwinds
the mannerisms of the spaces structured along with the built form for various
emotions and feelings experienced by changing scales, volumes and spatial
configurations.
Daulatabad Fort was built with the prime objective of safeguarding the people
living in the fort. This fort, reminiscent of power and valour, was actually
conceived as a big hideout with very close-knit spaces and squeezed volumes,
sudden turns, deep black holes and puzzling meandering paths all knitted
together by a meandering path along the contours of the land connecting the
public and private squares.
The majestic black stoned fort punctured with jharokhas, small-sized windows
peeking into the jungles, series of arched doorways framing the views, lead
one from one emotion to another with the changes in scale and perspective.
