A renaissance man of Indian modernism, Aditya Prakash (1923-1988) trained as an architect in London and also studied at the Glasgow School of Art. His buildings adhered to the strictest principles of modernism as adapted to the Indian climatic and living conditions. This book traces the width of Prakash's career and obsessions.
Aditya Prakash belonged to the first generation of Indian modernists, a lodestar group of civil servants under Jawaharlal Nehru's leadership immediately after Independence, at a time when the connectivity between city, citizen and nation seemed vibrant and expanding. Ignoring disciplinary boundaries, Prakash viewed all aspects of his work as multiple dimensions of a single quest-to understand the purpose of life, enjoy it, and to keep the interests of the poorest at heart. This is the "continuous line" and it represents an insight into Prakash's philosophy in life and design.;Conceived as an introduction to his vast body of work, this volume is an illustrated narrative, with a series of interspersed visual essays, tracing the life of Aditya Prakash.
