AVCI Architects, Turkey The theme for the July issue is Innovation. A quest for innovation through Design Research is imperative in today’s times with the intent being- to raise the bar in building performance and to adopt advanced Ar. Lalichan Zacharias Ar. Gita Balakrishnan technologies in the practice of Architecture. We need to introduce strategies for integrating innovation into design practice. Also, now is the time to discuss how design and technological innovations could be deployed into improv- ing building performance. The increasing global emphasis on sustainable ap- proaches, cost-effectiveness and efficiency of buildings, calls for new and innovative approaches to Architecture, Engineer- ing and Construction. Ar. Brijesh Saijal Dr. Shilpa Sharma Innovation is seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. Dr. Albert, Szent- Györgyi 7 This issue features a Dialogue with Ar Sanjay Mohe by Ar Gita Balakrishnan. We remember Ar.Geoffrey Bawa’s design philosophies through the lens of Ar.Channa Daswatte from Sri Lanka and Laki Senanayake, the legendary artist - Ar.Nela De Soyza, also of Sri Lanka pays a soulful tribute. Dr.Srivathsan Ar. Manguesh R. Ar. Mukul Goyal talks of the importance of Architectural Writing and its vari- Prabhugaonker ous facets. Our regular columns are carried as well along with a few design features. Through this issue, we hope to give a feast of interest- ing and informative reading. Keep Safe and Connected. Rather than being regulated by technology and inno- vation, we should steer them to serve the needs of the people. Dr. Pratheek Ar. Tushar Sogani OF ARCHITECTS INSTITUTE OF THE INDIAN JOURNAL Sudhakaran Ar. Lalichan Zacharias Editor EDITORIAL TEAM JULY 2021 JULY PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Members, Greetings! It is a good feeling to see a return back to near-normal- cy but caution is the key for a better tomorrow. Most of our Chapters and Centres continue to con- duct innovative programmes, mostly online. Their efforts in furthering inclusive participation of more members, apart from facilitating vaccination efforts are deeply appreciated. As the situation improves, Chapters and Centres can start planning some physical events subject to Government guidelines to come out of the fatigue of the online system and to promote interface and bonding among members to share experiences and exchange ideas concerning our profession. The online IIA Membership application process is be- ing implemented and applicants will find it easier to apply for membership. I request the Chapters, Centres and Sub-Cen- tres to familiarise non-members with this process to enable membership growth which is crucial for our Institute. As a first step, the “Each one Bring one” effort by every member can easily double our present membership within a span of the next one year. 8 Ar. C.R. Raju The IIA CAD is a significant initiative by our Institute President, IIA to make available a versatile Cad Software for our members at an affordable cost. Chapters, Centres and Sub-Centres can articulate this to the members so that they are all compliant with software policies and are not subjected to harassment by companies. The feedback from the users has been very good. The planning authorities and the governments in many states have integrated or approved IIA CAD for online approval pur- poses. An effort can be made by every Chapter to approach the authorities for its integration. Ar. Vilas Avachat Ar. Jitendra Mehta, Ar. Gyanendra Vice-President, IIA Jr. Vice President, IIA Singh Shekhawat The online building approval process is in place in Hon. Treasurer, IIA most of the states but there are issues to be addressed for its proper implementation : a request to our Chapters and Cen- tres to highlight the short comings and discuss with the local authorities to sort out the anomalies to make it effective. Our best wishes to Ar. Jose Louis Cortes Delgado of Mexico who has been elected as the President of UIA in the recent UIA Elections for the term 2021-23. Ar. Ashutosh Kr. Ar. Leena Kumar Ar.

  • A Novelist, Short Story Writer As Well As an Art Critic, Mulk Raj Anand (1905
    A novelist, short story writer as well as an art critic, Mulk Raj Anand (1905-2004) was among the first few Indian writers in English who gained international recognition early in his life. His novels Untouchable (1935) and Coolie (1936) impressively articulate the abuses of an exploited class. A dynamic personality, impeccably dressed Anand befriended great writers like E.M. Forster, Herbert Read and George Orwell. Till 1947, he spent half his time in London and half in India. It was therefore inevitable for him to be drawn to India’s struggle for independence. The most important influence upon Anand was that of Gandhi who shaped his social conscience. With success, Anand came to firmly believe that a writer’s work is an illustration of a ‘fiery voice of those people who through his own torments...transmutes in art all feeling...thus becoming the seer of new vision...’ Anand was proactively associated with the Progressive Writers’ movement of India and was one of the moving spirits behind the drafting of its first manifesto. Equally noteworthy was his passion for the arts whose best expression were the issues of Marg which he founded and edited for a quarter century. Even after he withdrew from its editorship, it continued to be the leading art journal of India. This book is the first ever attempt to put together the biography of such a vibrant personality who left no stone unturned to realise his dreams. With Raja Rao and R.K. Narayan, Anand is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Indian English novel.

  • Drawing Between the Lines: Intersections of Gender, Narratives and Representations
    Drawing between the Lines: Intersections of Gender, Narratives and Representations A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE In the School of Architecture and Interior Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning May 2011 by Czaee Malpani B.Arch, TVB School of Habitat Studies, 2007 Committee Chair: Aarati Kanekar, Ph.D Supporting Chair: Michael McInturf, M.Arch Committee Member: Vincent Sansalone, M.Arch II abstract Predicated on the notion that architectural identity is inextricably linked and produced through the architectural representations, this thesis argues that the identity so produced is gendered masculine through its dependence on ideals of objectivity, universality, and normativity. It specifically investigates the role of narratives, either as the singular or meta-narrative of the discipline or the obviation of the ‘other’ narratives, in generating an identity which is rendered hegemonic and patriarchal. Within this paradigm, issues of linearity and translation which inform architectural representations, are raised and questioned. The project explores the translation of narratives through examining the autobiography of one of the first South-Asian female (trained ‘modernist’) architect, Minnette De Silva, to understand how her narratives can be employed not just to facilitate the design process for an exhibition that allows an experiential insight into her life and work (not mutually exclusive), but create representations of her representations such as to retain her narratives and make the same accessible. Rather than depend on normative plans, sections or elevations, the method of representation uses structuring mechanisms such as multi-temporality and multi-spatiality by playing with techniques of scale and repetition, which have been borrowed from ‘other’ forms of indigenous art, such as Warli Art.

  • Multi-Media Artist Sana Arjumand Is a Leading Figure in the Current
    PRESS RELEASE Figure/Landscape – Part One Featuring works by M. F. Husain, George Keyt, Anjolie Ela Menon, Akbar Padamsee, Sudhir Patwardhan, Jehangir Sabavala, Sadequain, F. N. Souza, Jagdish Swaminathan and more Aicon Gallery, New York: 28 October – 20 November 2010 Opening Reception: Thursday October 28, 6:00pm – 9:00pm Throughout the course of modern Indian art, the dual themes of landscape and the figure, and the interaction between the two, have occupied Indian artists significantly more so than artists working in the Western modernist tradition. In part, this may be traced back to the reluctance by early practitioners of Indian modernism to commit totally to abstraction. Unlike their European counterparts, Indian artists such as M. F. Husain and F. N. Souza, among others, remained committed in their work to figurative references to both landscape and the individual, perhaps as an assertive method through which to impart a unique cultural identity to the their ongoing modernist experiments. Partha Mitter has argued that the Industrial Revolution in the West, and the subsequent feelings of alienation and angst it bred amongst individuals, helped give rise to the radically distorted and fragmented techniques that became the hallmark of much of European modernism. However, Mitter argues that India, in the first part of the twentieth century at least, was still largely a non-industrial country with a certain level of socio-economic cohesion binding together much of the population. Mitter argues that it was this sense of shared cultural experience, already rapidly disintegrating in Western societies, that shaped the unique paths India’s early modern artists collectively began to explore.
