The Smithsonian (Washington) was organizing an event to celebrate the Silk Route. The curator for this exhibition, Mr. Rajiv Sethi conceived of a concept that required building famous structures from the ‘Route’ starting from Todai ji Nara (Japan) to Palladio square (Italy). His entire vision was realised through a complex set of structures which were designed without sub ground foundation and authentic detail. Craftsmen and designers worked together over a period of 6 months to create systems in Delhi which were to shipped to Washington (USA) for installation.
