‘When is Space?’ intends to investigate the contemporary modes and methods of architecture and space making practices in India. Through provocations that emerge from ideas of Sawai Jai Singh and Charles Correa, the exhibition invites artists and architects to respond through spatial interventions within JKK.

What does it take for space to happen? Can mathematical logics be mobilised to (re)invent form and space? What happens when established built-form and landscape typologies are interrogated and transformed? Can there be an urban form that can afford the multiplicity of the collective? ‘When is Space?’ positions these inquiries at the centre of this exhibition, by bringing together multiple and diverse responses, conceived as one large project.

If the diagnosis has been discredited, what explains the persistence of its walls?

Gender. Hysteria. Architecture. | “How Did a Diagnosis Learn to Draw Walls?”

Did these spaces heal women or teach them how to disappear? Aditi A., through her research study as a part of the CEPT Writing Architecture course, in this chapter follows hysteria as it migrates from text to typology, inquiring how architectural decisions came to stand in for care itself. Rather than assuming architecture responded to illness, the inquiry turns the question around: did architecture help produce the vulnerability it claimed to manage?
