inherently a creation of physically

‖Non Spaces‖
 Cidade de Goa is full of tasteful, whimsical and
ambiguous allusions to Goa’s cultural history, Hindu,
Muslim and Portuguese. It imbibes very f ew architectural
clichés: the door way with armed guards on either side is
purely trompeloéil painting on a free standing wall which
has nothing behind it; an open to skycourtyard (one of
several) has additional sky perceptible through a painted
window with a human silhouette.
