Summary:
It was my Eureka moment as I realised that the architect is a new age agent of Pangaea. I spent some time in the Terai region, in a resort that was designed by an “Australian” architect (as proudly proclaimed by its management). In the middle of Terai, thousands of kilometres from the seashore, the architect had dreamt a tropical dream. It is a disaster in making across the globe, but for nations like India or Nepal, it is a calamity. The resort had some wonderful features like open-to-sky bathing areas and water bodies as landscape elements that the Australian architect must have romantically imagined as symbolically linking one to outdoor living..
