How does one view the cumulative work of one's life? For Gautam
Bhatia, this publication is not merely a record of his personal or
professional legacy, but rather it is a profound examination of his
life in architecture. According to the author, architecture is, by
its very nature, a practice of contradictions. It operates under
influences from sociology, design, engineering, landscape,
anthropology, urbanism and civic practice in order to impose its
will on the nature of space. This publication brings together
several of the author's built works, from commercial and
residential buildings to large public spaces, from places of
leisure to places of worship. Together with detailed essays,
drawings and photographs, the author lays out his philosophy of
design to illustrate how architecture became not just a conquest of
the imagination, but also of reality. To physically will a building
onto a site is an act of design, but to set it free onto a course
of transformation is an act of architecture - into a realm beyond
the present, where the space is not just made, but lives and dies.
The author demonstrates how his practice became not just a tool for
solving problems, but also a mode of personal expression, making
this volume an invaluable resource for students and practitioners
of architecture alike.
