This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Institute of Architects (IIA) is the national body of Architects in India with more than 20,000 members. The history of IIA can be traced back to 1917 when it started at Sir JJ College of Architecture as the Architectural Students Association. It was renamed as The Bombay Architectural Association in 1922 as the activities of the Association showed steady progress. It was then, that members began to seriously consider an improvement in the status of the Association. It got affiliation to the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1925 and then became a full-fledged Indian Institute of Architects in 1929 having its headquarters at Mumbai. IIA is associated with the International Union of Architects (UIA), Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) and South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation of Architects. It is also registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 as a voluntary organization. The founding members who set-up the Institute have left their footprints on the sands of Indian Architecture. The present generation of architects who now work for the prestigious Institute follow the footsteps of their predecessors. Not only it is a great challenge, but it is the responsibility of the office-bearers, the council members of IIA, and the executive committees of chapters/centres/sub-centres to steer the Institute to greater heights. IIA hosts two national events namely National Conference and Young Architects Festival every year in different cities and states of India. These events provide a platform to deliberate upon the various relevant issues concerning the profession. In April 1934 the first quarterly journal was published and since then it has continued to be one of the most important features of the Institute. Later the journal was published by IIA member, late Ar PJ Khambatta. After that Ar M Largo-Affonso took over and now it is being published by the Publication Board. Institute is grateful to the Editors, Ar HJ Bilimoria, from whose review for the Silver Jubilee these notes are gleaned, Ar MJP Mistri, JPJ Bilimoria, Ar Vina Mody and a host of others including Ar MM Vijayakar, Ar RD Sane, Ar KB Gatne, Ar AD Aroskar and the younger members of the Journal Committee for all their valuable help in keeping it going in spite of the mounting costs of paper and printing and other difficulties. The Journal is a big link with members spread out all over India and abroad. Continuing the trend, the publication board has been publishing the JIIA with Ar Vasant Ranade, Chairman of the Publication Board, and Ar Anil Nagrath and Ar JR Marathe as Editors; then Ar Divya Kush, the Chairman of board and Ar Jagdeep Desai as Editor; Ar Vijay Garg, the Chairman and Prof Jatinder Singh and Ar Chandrashekhar Prabhu as editors. During 2008-10, Ar Kapil Mehta as Chairman and Prof Jatinder Singh as Editor continued the JIIA. In 2010-12, a new team of IIA has taken over and appointed me as Chairman and Editor of JIIA for two years term. During our tenure, we decided to start the concept of theme-based issues. It was also decided that Guest Editors will be appointed to cover more areas and specialized subjects. Till date, we have published issues on Temples of Learning, Houses & Housing, Architect of the Year Awards, Heritage Conservation, Sustainable Architecture, Cities, etc. Currently, the major problem is that some members do not get JIIA. At times it gets lost in postal transactions. Students need it for their researches and studies. Due to many constraints, it cannot reach other parts of the world. So, publication board has taken the initiative to preserve copies of JIIA. From February to July 2014, all issues are being made available in a book format. In future also, we shall make old issues available every six months. Hope our endeavour will be a fruitful exercise.

It is hoped that the drawings featured in this book are sufficient to inspire young minds to adopt, adapt and continue the trend of hand-drawn perspectives, sketches, and paintings. The drawings featured in this book are grouped into four Sections. These include: Graphic Section-1: PERSPECTIVES (224 drawings) Graphic Section-2: SKETCHES (108 drawings) Graphic Section-3: ISOMETRICS and AXONOMETRICS (34 drawings) Graphic Section-4: PAINTINGS and POSTERS (46 drawings) The book was conceived of and is presented as a reference book for the use of architects, artists, painters, sketchers, sculptors, and students of these related disciplines. It is hoped that this book will enable them to have an overview of different styles of architectural rendering in the last century and to draw inspiration to continue this art in today's digital world.
Download or read book India written by Peter Scriver and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A place of astonishing contrasts, India is home to some of the world’s most ancient architectures as well as some of its most modern. It was the focus of some of the most important works created by Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, among other lesser-known masters, and it is regarded by many as one of the key sites of mid-twentieth century architectural design. As Peter Scriver and Amit Srivastava show in this book, however, India’s history of modern architecture began long before the nation’s independence as a modern state in 1947. Going back to the nineteenth century, Scriver and Srivastava look at the beginnings of modernism in colonial India and the ways that public works and patronage fostered new design practices that directly challenged the social order and values invested in the building traditions of the past. They then trace how India’s architecture embodies the dramatic shifts in Indian society and culture during the last century. Making sense of a broad range of sources, from private papers and photographic collections to the extensive records of the Indian Public Works Department, they provide the most rounded account of modern architecture in India that has yet been available.
Download or read book Architectural Voices of India written by Apurva Bose Dutta and published by . This book was released on 2017-08 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of architecture has gradually evolved from being a mere profession to becoming a representation of the society in which we live. Architects form the voice of this profession, and an in-depth discussion with them allows a greater understanding of their theories, visions for architecture, and contributions towards the field, and how they are managing the non-linear societal evolution in a comprehensive manner. This volume brings together 17 iconic Indian architects across generations, and, through dialogues, probes into their lives, beliefs and philosophies, and candid thoughts and opinions. It offers a platform for discussions on the core issues of architecture, and serves as a reference for the state of architecture both in India and globally. The book will appeal to architectural and building industry practitioners and students of architecture, as well as the general reader, as it speaks about architecture as an integral part of building a nation. It traverses the architecture journey in India, and bestows a clarity on the directions still to be taken.
Download or read book Mumbai Fables written by Gyan Prakash and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from the catastrophic floods and terrorist attacks of recent years, Prakash reaches back to the sixteenth-century Portuguese conquest to reveal the stories behind Mumbai's historic journey. Examining Mumbai's role as a symbol of opportunity and reinvention, he looks at its nineteenth-century development under British rule and its twentieth-century emergence as a fabled city on the sea. Different layers of urban experience come to light as he recounts the narratives of the Nanavati murder trial and the rise and fall of the tabloid Blitz, and Mumbai's transformation from the red city of trade unions and communists into the saffron city of Hindu nationalist Shiv Sena. Starry-eyed planners and elite visionaries, cynical leaders and violent politicians of the street, land sharks and underworld dons jostle with ordinary citizens and poor immigrants as the city copes with the dashed dreams of postcolonial urban life and lurches into the seductions of globalization. --
Download or read book Contemporary Indian Houses written by Sarbjit Bahga and published by Sarbjit Singh Bahga. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Indian Houses discusses fifty-one architect-designed built-up houses selected from different parts of India. They display the diversity of needs, tastes and building materials in the context of different weather conditions and social trends. Different architectural appearances or external expressions have determined the classification of the houses into five sections. This grouping keeps the reader’s growing interest in the external aspect of a residential structure. The emphasis is on the built-form rather than on the interior and its decor. Each house is accompanied by an explanatory text and supplemented by appropriate drawings and photographs to present a comprehensive picture of India's many-splendoured domestic architecture. Contemporary Indian Houses is a well illustrated document of changing trends in architectural tune. It is not only a reflection of contemporary Indian architecture but also source of reference material for architecture historians. Moreover, it fulfills the needs of architects and other professionals engaged in house construction activity along with those general readers who wish to keep themselves informed of what is happening in the field of creative design.
Download or read book Women Architects in India written by Mary N. Woods and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first inclusive study of how women have shaped the modern Indian built environment from the independence struggle until today, this book reveals a history that is largely unknown, not only in the West, but also in India. Educated in the 1930s and 1940s, the very first women architects designed everything from factories to museums in the post-independence period. The generations that followed are now responsible for metro systems, shopping malls, corporate headquarters, and IT campuses for a global India. But they also design schools, cultural centers, religious pilgrimage hotels, and wildlife sanctuaries. Pioneers in conserving historic buildings, these women also sustain and resurrect traditional crafts and materials, empower rural and marginalized communities, and create ecologically sustainable architectures for India. Today, although women make up a majority in India’s ever-increasing schools of architecture, it is still not easy for them, like their Western sisters, to find their place in the profession. Recounting the work and lives of Indian women as not only architects, but also builders and clients, opens a new window onto the complexities of feminism, modernism, and design practice in India and beyond. Set in the design centers of Mumbai and Delhi, this book is also one of the first histories of architectural education and practice in two very different cities that are now global centers. The diversity of practices represented here helps us to imagine other ways to create and build apart from "starchitecture." And how these women negotiate tradition and modernity at work and at home is crucial for understanding gender and modern architecture in a more global and less Eurocentric context. In a country where female emancipation was important for narratives of the independence movement and the new nation-state, feminism was, nonetheless, eschewed as divisive and damaging to the nationalist cause. Class, caste, tradition, and family restricted—but also created—opportunities for the very first women architects in India, just as they do now for the growing number of young women professionals today.
Download or read book Bhubaneswar written by Ravi Kalia and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this informative new book, Ravi Kalia continues his examination of the planning of Indian cities begun with his earlier study of Chandigarh. Here, Kalia makes systematic inquiries into the political circumstances that brought about modern Bhubaneswar, the capital of the state of Orissa, to reveal the historical and social circumstances that shaped the city. In this account, Kalia brilliantly shows the interplay of indigenous religious forces, regional loyalty, and Western secular ideas in the context of twentieth-century international architecture and planning movements. This book will prove invaluable to historians, architects, planners, sociologists, and scholars interested in India, as well as those interested in urban planning in developing countries.
Download or read book House but No Garden written by Nikhil Rao and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the well-documented development of colonial Bombay and sprawling contemporary Mumbai, a profound shift in the city’s fabric occurred: the emergence of the first suburbs and their distinctive pattern of apartment living. In House, but No Garden Nikhil Rao considers this phenomenon and its significance for South Asian urban life. It is the first book to explore an organization of the middle-class neighborhood that became ubiquitous in the mid-twentieth-century city and that has spread throughout the subcontinent. Rao examines how the challenge of converting lands from agrarian to urban use created new relations between the state, landholders, and other residents of the city. At the level of dwellings, apartment living in self-contained flats represented a novel form of urban life, one that expressed a compromise between the caste and class identities of suburban residents who are upper caste but belong to the lower-middle or middle class. Living in such a built environment, under the often conflicting imperatives of maintaining the exclusivity of caste and subcaste while assembling residential groupings large enough to be economically viable, led suburban residents to combine caste with class, type of work, and residence to forge new metacaste practices of community identity. As it links the colonial and postcolonial city—both visually and analytically—Rao’s work traces the appearance of new spatial and cultural configurations in the middle decades of the twentieth century in Bombay. In doing so, it expands our understanding of how built environments and urban identities are constitutive of one another.
