Description
The fourth in the series of Ramin Jahanbegloo's interviews of prominent intellectuals who have influenced modern Indian thought, in Talking Architecture Jahanbegloo converses with Raj Rewal, one of India's leading contemporary architects. The book addresses issues encompassing the aesthetic foundations of Indian architecture, architecture in the twenty-first century, and Rewal's work, among others, to produce challenging ideas and provocative suggestions on the role of an Indian architect in a global context. The dialogue flows effortlessly from Rewal's descriptions of his early life in undivided India and his experiences in Europe to discussions on Indian architecture as well as on architecture in a globalized world. Recounting the life and ideas of Raj Rewal in his own words, this engaging volume includes a large number of visuals-photographs and drawings and sketches-to capture the essence of architecture.
