Eloquent Spaces adopts the twin analytic of meaning and community to write a fresh history of building in early India. It captures some of the semantic diversity inherent in premodern Indian traditions of civic building, which were unified in their insistence on enacting a transcendent validity over and above utility and beauty of form.
