A panoply of collectives inhabits it, sometimes consolidating physically in specific all-inclusive quarters throughout the city with a village-like character to them. As a matter of fact, the city includes a good number of urban villages. It is no coincidence that Meeta Mastani, one of the authors contributing to this volume and a friend living in Delhi, explained to me, while discussing the roots of this project, that only thanks to her experience of living in villages in Rajasthan can she understand the complexities of the quarter just behind the housing-complex in which her house can be found.

Architecture here is broadly understood. It includes places of worship and street bazaars; slums, housing developments, skyscrapers and five-star hotels; the busy street, the vehicle-jammed highway and the museum; gardens, hospitals and the sidewalk; but above all, how people live and interact with each other, creating collective habitats and surroundings, which have both hermeneutical as well as physical dimensions. In a nutshell, how the city is lived as well as interpreted.
