INDIAN MODERNITY
The architecture of Raj Rewal

When Raj Rewal returned to India in 1962, after studying architecture and having various professional and artistic experiences in London and Paris, he wanted to create an architecture to serve a new nation that was facing huge challenges.

He learnt lessons from the masterpieces of Indian architecture, and adopted an approach that fused modernism with tradition. Pragmatic, yet respecting nature, it puts man at the center of his architecture.

Spanning six decades and a historic turning point, the major works of Raj Rewal, including individual as well as group housing, offices, exhibition halls, university campuses and a parliament library, have participated in the invention of modern India.
