In the international narratives of Indian architecture, it would be worthwhile to see the framework developed by William Curtis as an example. However authenticity, regionalism, fabrication of Indian ethos to gain popularity and commissions have been recently challenged along with the framework which has defined them.!

A contextual grounding of buildings to create a humane environment seemed to be the overarching theme of his evolution. However in the process, Kanvinde in contrast, consciously refrains from making any visible or recognisable references to traditional elements preferring, on the contrary, increasingly abstract geometric compositions.

Though he used the local stone at NIA it is manipulated in the form of grit plaster. Though constantly aware of history and changing trends, Kanvinde increasingly uses geometric rigour to advance his quest for quality of spaces and environment, which he believed were a true measure of good and timeless architecture.

Conclusion In examining the IITK and NIA campus, designed and built during two distinct periods particular attention was focussed on how Kanvinde approached the contextual issues through formal and spatial aspects of design.

This is achieved through a rational approach of modular planning and structural grid, both imparting order to the resultant form. While the visual expression remains true to underlying structural logic, it relies on abstraction as a tool to respond to the changing context.

At IITK, he discovers alternative ways to make his buildings more locally grounded and in the process negotiates with imported modernity. At NIA, this language of abstraction is extended further as a critique of ongoing shift towards Indianisation. As seen through both the projects, there is a definite blurring between the boundaries of modern and postmodern, the universal and the local, reflecting a unique regional sensibility.

This distinction in tasks remained right throughout their partnership, and continuing even after architect Murad Choudhary joined as a partner. He and Kanvinde handled most of the projects separately and the projects are credited accordingly in their office project list. Murad Choudhary.

A flat topography with a canal on one side and major transport links on other, hot and dry climate, phased development, future expansion, interaction between diverse activities and segregated movement determined the overall organisation of the campus.

The tectonics of framed construction got more accentuated as its openings got interwoven with structural logic. Copy and paste this code into your Wikipedia page. Need help?
