The brief called for a visitor and knowledge centre at Jodhpur's world famous Mehrangarh Fort
The Knowledge Centre sits diagonally within an existing high-walled enclosure
Traversing the significant change of level a central stair creates an axial route to Chokelao Bagh gardens
The resulting play of mass and negative space emphasises the Fort's existing fabric
The Visitor Centre is broken down into a chain of forms
Visitors experience the building as a sequence of gently ascending rooms
The procession culminates at a formal garden designed in the Rajasthani tradition
