Book excerpt: full colour printing, 106 pages of text & imagesMirrorwork Palace experiments with new methods SUSTAINABILITY as a PRE-REQUISITE both in technology and expression of the LOCAL CONTEXT, its history, identity of the site: climate and ways of life in the region, comparing urban growth, new needs, behaviour, customs, means of communication with the SENSITIVITY, peculiar to Islamic and pre-Islamic culture. LIGHT, COLOUR, REFLECTIVITY & SPECULARITY, since 500 AD invented the unique pattern of MIRRORWORK PALACE: in Persia, Rajastan and whole ISLAM world.The project looks at the needs and urgency for a Plan for the NEW MILLENNIUM, but attributes essential importance to the dialogue with the most IMAGINATIVE aspects of LOCAL TRADITION, into which are interwoven the struggles and parsimony, subtleties and flaunted opulence of millennia interpreting, WITHOUT PATRONISING EMULATION OF STYLE, but with self-critical HUMOUR, indispensable and NOT IRONICAL, which is our trademark.
