Rearview mirror 25 May, 2009 : The frameworks for Connaught Place are on the ground and the map that the artists will fill is very clear. There it is laid out on the floor. Mapped out in commercial board. This shape that Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker and an army of assistants must have slaved over. Now reduced to a graphic shape being handled by desi carpenters. Somewhere Lutyens’ ghost must be having a quiet chuckle or turning in its grave – if it was really imperially minded.
