The power of the thought, the elegance of the concept, the simplicity in expression. So simple, it can arguably be termed boring. Perhaps it is being dismissed as such, which is a pity. Indian Cities are full of unassigned voids awaiting a Paley Park-like catalyst.
At one level Paley Park is a pocket garden/ public space. At another level, it is the willingness to accept simple interventions that end up having a profound impact on the way we see cities, nature and people.
I have been looking at it for years, yet it beguiles me.
As Ghalib concluded, "...yun hota toh kya hota..."
