This volume documents Kapoor's 2008 commission for the Deutsche Guggenheim, which travels to New York in 2009.

It is considered in this volume through the lenses of philosophy, structural analysis and postcolonial and architectural theory. In addition to ample color reproductions of the work itself, this volume includes preparatory sketches and architectural renderings.
