Built around a multi-disciplinary oeuvre that was unique amongst his peers, Prakash's life was dedicated to finding the 'one continuous line' which linked art - as the search for the beautiful, architecture - as the enabler of life, and planning - as the ethic of protecting the interests of poor.Interspersed with a series of visual essays, this book is conceived as an introduction to Prakash's vast body of work. Besides practicing architecture, he was an academic, a prolific painter, sculptor, furniture designer, stage set-designer, poet and public speaker. This volume documents Prakash's education as an architect in Delhi and London, his early modernist works, his deep artistic impulses, his love of theatre, and his efforts to rally a culture of academic inquiry. The narrative describes his successes and failures, his arguments for and against modernism, postmodernism and globalization, and his passion for sustainable urbanism, the animal and the acoustic. The book concludes with an interpretive essay on Prakash's life and legacy, along with lavish illustrations of a portfolio of select works.'More than just a biography, this book is a critical assessment of Aditya Prakash's oeuvre as a designer, painter and philosopher' - Mark Jarzombek Professor of History, Theory and Criticism, MIT 'At once deeply moving and seriously informative, this book details a life in architecture in post-Independence India dedicated to social service, education, and environmental reform.' - Anthony Vilder, Professor of Architecture at The Cooper Union 'This book charts the intellectual odyssey of the pioneering artist, architect and urban planner, Aditya Prakash, a multi-talented renaissance man.' - Partha Mitter, writer & historian on art & culture 'An intimate, revelatory analysis of a life that exemplified the cosmopolitan modernism and national commitments of India's founding, Nehruvian generation.' -Sunil Khilnani, Avantha Professor & Director, King's India Institute, King's College London.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Aditya Prakash belonged to the first generation of Indian modernists, a lodestar group of civil servants under Jawaharlal Nehru's 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-to understand the purpose of life, enjoy it, and to keep the interests of the poorest at heart. This is the 'continuous line' and it represents an insight into Prakash's philosophy in life and design.;Conceived as an introduction to his vast body of work, this volume is an illustrated narrative, with a series of interspersed visual essays, tracing the life of Aditya Prakash.
