DOSHI – ARCHITECTURE WITHOUT ADJECTIVES

Posted by admin on August 30th, 2009 and filed under architectural | 10 Comments »

Hundredhands presents “DOSHI – ARCHITECTURE WITHOUT ADJECTIVES” – A film by Premjit Ramachandran.

Presented here a nutshell version of a film about legendary architect B.V. Doshi.

“While there has been earlier documentation on Doshi’s work, it has largely been in the form of books and magazine articles. While this may capture the qualitative values of Doshi’s work, it does not adequately capture Doshi’s personality or his role and influence on the architectural profession in India. He was the person responsible for bringing Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn to India. In the early years after India gained independence from colonial rule, he is one of a handful of seminal figures who set the tone in exploring architecture’s capacity to come to terms with the sense of modernity sought by this nascent nation. He set the benchmark for architectural education through his founding role in the Centre for Environmental Planning & Technology in Ahmedabad. He has not remained confined to the architectural idiom of his early career, and his work has continued to evolve substantively through his constant questioning of fundamentals in architecture. But what is striking about Doshi is the fact that his passion, enthusiasm and desire to learn have remained unabated even today.” – Prem Chandavarkar, Chandavarkar & Thacker Architects

Posted by admin on August 27th, 2009 and filed under architectural engineering | No Comments »

Old Kingdom and Older Kingdom Still

John Anthony West explores architectural
anomalies and other evidence of an advanced
civilization predating the ancient Egyptians.

Across Egypt, the many architectural, engineering,
artistic and scientific wonders still defy explaination.
The mysterious Oserion appears to already have
been an ancient ruin when it was “uncovered” by
Seti I during the construction of the Temple of
Abydos in first Dynasty.

New developments in the “age-of-the-sphinx”
debate. In the Cairo museum is a stella which
describes reparations to the great sphinx performed
by the Father of the traditionally credited builder.

Does the great sphinx conseal its own date of
construction in the age of Leo?
