BOOK TALK | Vikram Prakash, “One Continuous Line: Art, Architecture and Urbanism of Aditya Prakash”
June 3, 3:30 – 5:00 PM |听
The South Asia Center will host Professor of Architecture听Vikramaditya Prakash听to speak on his new book,听One Continuous Line.
One Continuous Line听explores the life, work, art and philosophy of Aditya Prakash, one of India’s early Modernist architects. Aditya Prakash belonged to the first generation of Indian modernists, a lodestar group of civil servants under Jawaharlal Nehru鈥檚 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鈥攖o understand the purpose of life, enjoy it, and to keep the interests of the poorest at heart. This is the 鈥渃ontinuous line鈥� and it represents an insight into Prakash鈥檚 philosophy in life and design.听
