LOCATION : ABOUT THE CITY :
Bijapur, officially known as [Link] the district headquarters of Bijapur District of Karnataka state of India. It is also the headquarters for Bijapur Taluka. Bijapur
city is well known for its historical monuments of architectural importance built during the rule of the Adil Shahi dynasty. The city was established in the 10th-11th
centuries by the Kalyani Chalukyas and was known as Vijayapura (City of victory). The city was passed to Yadavas after Chalukya's demise. In 1347, the area was
conquered by the Bahmani Sultanate. After the split of the Bahmani Sultanate, the Bijapur Sultanate ruled from the city. Relics of the Sultanates' rule can be found in the
city, including the Bijapur Fort, Bara Kaman, Jama Masjid, and Gol Gumbaz. The place is an important tourist place in the country, the former capital of the Adilshahi
dynasty, situated about 579 km (360 mi) to the north-west of Bangalore. The Gadag-Solapur railway line traverses via this place. The Kalyani Chalukya kings made it a
sub-capital according to an inscription of 1073. It is believed that Jain Poet Nagachandra, 12th century, had his residence here. The place had old names like Vijayapura,
Vidyapura and Mohamudpura. For nearly 200 years from 1489 to 1686, this was the seat of the Adilshahi Dynasty.

ARCHITECTURAL THESIS
Everything Exists at Once: Past, Present,
and Future
“Time” is the most commonly used noun in the English language. The word itself is so versatile: we
can kill time, do time, save it and spend it. Time even takes on a medicinal role when it comes to
healing both physical and emotional wounds.
In classical philosophy, time is divided into three distinct regions: the "past", the "present", and the
"future". Using that representational model, the past is generally seen as being immutably fixed, and
the future as at least partly undefined. As time passes, the moment that was once the present
becomes part of the past; and part of the future, in turn, becomes the new present. In this way time is
said to pass, with a distinct present moment "moving" forward into the future and leaving the past
behind. Within this intuitive understanding of time is the philosophy of presentism, which argues
that only the present exists. It does not travel forward through an environment of time, moving from
a real point in the past and toward a real point in the future.
Eternalism (philosophy of time)
Eternalism is a philosophical approach to the ontological nature of time,
which takes the view that all existence in time is equally real, as opposed
to presentism or the growing block universe theory of time, in which at least
the future is not the same as any other time.
