Description
The fourth volume in the series The Architect's Studio is dedicated to the works of Anupama Kundoo. The much appraised Indian architect aims to shed light on a scarce resource in our life: time. Kundoo sees time as a forgotten resource in architecture. For her, architecture is a process that embraces the present, the past and the future. Taking inspiration from ancient building methods, Kundoo is concerned with using as few resources as possible in her architecture. This publication explores how traditional Indian building customs, crafts and materials are integrated into her studio's remarkable projects.
