Not long ago, there were gated dead-ends (Sibe), surrounded by houses that accommodated relatives around a courtyard. This Sibe (semi-public urban space) and courtyard (semi-private space) gifted us the "sky" upon stepping outside. Today, however, all those people live in apartments with low ceilings and elevators. Upon stepping out, they see confined spaces and depressing environments.
But where is the "sky"? The mysterious blue umbrella...
In "Paakat," we gifted the "sky" to the Akbari family.
