On a balmy spring evening, the book was ceremoniously unwrapped and \u2018released\u2019 according to local tradition by Dayanita\u2019s first photography teacher, Mr. Dalwadi. After the debut screening of the book's accompanying video, a conversation between Dayanita and Apartamento\u2019s editorial director, Robbie Whitehead followed, moderated by Apartamento contributor and friend to the magazine, Komal Sharma. Together they unraveled the compositions of Dayanita's photography and the art of bookmaking, reflecting on Mr Doshi's home as a theatre of symmetry and affection. To inaugurate the exhibition, the lighting of a ceremonial lamp offered a glowing celebration of our latest chapter with Kamala House."},{"acf_fc_layout":"quote","quote":"In both our fields the magic ingredient is light and how and where one focuses it.","caption":"\u2014Dayanita Singh in conversation with BV Doshi"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image_size":"regular","gallery":[153578]},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<strong>In the Beginning: Kamala House\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apartamento\u2019s fascination with Kamala House first took shape as an eponymous book in 2019, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the third volume in a series devoted to our favourite architects and the houses they built for themselves.
