Re-Inhabiting the Palace of Justice

The project finds itself in understanding relationships, vital in analyzing and critiquing built environment. The Palace of Justice within the Chandigarh capitol complex with its dysfunctional relationships and order is appropriately re-imagined based on the broader ideas of inculcating discourse and accountability between governance and people. The university proposed within the capitol complex finds itself as the museum and department of history within the building and  becomes a portal of history, emphasizing its importance as a means to understand the past and negotiate the present and the future.
