Description
Le Corbusier and Kahn put India and Bangladesh on the map of modern global architecture in the 1950s and 1960s. Calcutta-born Banerji evaluates the last works of these Modernist Movement masters from cultural as well as architectural perspectives. He discusses tools of composition; and presents a Kahn case study from India to Indiana, and interviews (undated) with three leading Bangladeshi and Indian architects. Illustrations range from a mosque and government buildings in Bangladesh to a theater in Fort Wayne. The author teaches urban design, design studios, and history of architecture of the East and West at the U. of Waterloo. c. Book News Inc.
