Interaction on Architecture
(8th November, 7:00 p.m., Gulmohar Hall, India Habitat Centre Lodhi Road, New Delhi)
Massimiliano Fuksas Charles Correa Raj Rewal
Massimiliano Fuksas had opened his first architectural practice, even before he graduated in architecture from La Sapienza University in Rome in 1967. Internationally renowned and Director of the VII Venice Architecture Biennale, “Less Aesthetics, More Ethics” from 1998 to 2000, he now lives and works in Rome and Paris.
One of India's best-known architects, Raj Rewal is recognized internationally for buildings that respond sensitively to the complex demands of rapid urbanization, climate and culture. Recipient of many national and international honours, he has also held, among others, an important exhibition of his works in 2005 in Parma, Italy.
A fundamental figure in the world-wide panorama of contemporary architecture, Charles Correa studied architecture at the University of Michigan and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His work in India shows a careful development, understanding and adaptation of Modernism to a non-western culture. His land-use planning and community projects continually try to go beyond typical solutions to third world problems. He received many national and international honours. Over the last four decades, Correa has done pioneering work in urban issues and low cost shelter in the Third World.
