The key-word here is in-between-ness: of site – it’s physical and cultural position; of the principle participants – neither the architect nor the clients being residents but frequent visitors to Goa, and habitual travellers in their own right; and of the program– a home away from home, not complete yet adequate. Vacations and pilgrimage attend to the need for a break from the binding matrix of society. By moving away from familiarity, or enduring hardships, one exposes the body and mind to all elements and opens out to receive more. In essence, one seeks a state of trance to rearrange; and this state is, necessarily, impermanent; so one may not break away but return replenished – to offer.
