Shivdatt Sharma (b. 1931) is one of the most prolific Indian
modernist architects. Starting out as an architect in the
Chandigarh Capital Project Team led by Le Corbusier and Pierre
Jeanneret, Sharma subsequently became Chief Architect of the Indian
Space Research Organisation. He then went into private practice.
Sharmas architecture is a distinct blend of the core principles of
Modernism, interpreted through the lens of contemporary Indian
realities. Modernism was adopted as both symbol and instrument of
nation-building in Nehruvian India. Working alongside designers and
artists, architects went to work building innumerable small
townships, universities, public institutions, housing estates and
infrastructural projects across the country. Progressive businesses
also patronized Modernism as full participants in the project of
nation-building. The Modernism in India Series documents the
extensive heritage of Modernism and modern architecture in India.
Bringing to light the work of a forgotten generation, this series
documents work that is currently under threat by the forces of
globalization. This well-illustrated book documents Sharmas work
from the early days, when it was a part of the experimental and
innovative ethos of Chandigarh, to the present. He has designed for
a range of public and private clients across the world. Along with
a portfolio of selected works, this book includes critical essays,
interviews and a chronology of projects.
