Doshi ki Sangath: in conversation with students

For Doshi the story of Adalaj popped up instinctively while speaking about the ways and means of giving joy to your client. The careful articulation of this story of architecture, impressed upon the young minds of the 18-year-olds as to how social functions need to be integrated artfully into successful designs. It was not about the architectural history of Adalaj. Adalaj was a mere prop in reflecting upon the formation of a program for architecture. However, it is the opinion of important scholars that the Adalaj stepwell is a Tirtha’s Tirtha.
