About this product

Product Information

The 40-year career of Balkrishna Doshi has been devoted to finding the proper balance between modern architecture and the rich indigenous traditions of India. As apprentice to Le Corbusier and friend of Louis Kahn, Doshi has worked with two of the most important pioneers of modernism on projects that have made a major contribution to both his own national tradition and the humane basis of modernism as a whole. The range of his ideas is fully explored in this book: adaptations of ancient Hindu geometry to contemporary town planning; the use of mythological figures, such as the Cobra King, as the inspiration for a free-form museum; and historical landmarks, such as the Ellora and Ajanta caves, as the basis for the design of a contemporary office building, the Diamond Bourse in Bombay. Illustrated with photographs and plans and complete with a comprehensive chronology of all the architect's works, this book should be influential not only in the developing countries themselves but also with the wider Western audience increasingly drawn to the principles of progress firmly rooted in tradition and of respect for human needs exemplified by Doshi's achievement.

    OUTSTANDING service from this seller. I was thrilled to find both volumes of this title available at a very reasonable price and in very good condition. Shipping costs were more than fair for international shipping. Books were secured in a waterproof wrapper and then packaged in a sturdy, padded container. These books arrived as described, in even better condition than photographed. Turnaround time was surprising for an item arriving from across the globe. Highest recommendation.

    Arrived promptly but with minimal packaging. However, the book was fortunately undamaged on receipt. A very good hardback copy with a fairly good dust jacket, as described. Sold at a reasonable price, so overall quite pleased with this purchase and the service from this seller.
