Das, Samit
Architecture of Santiniketan Tagore’s concept of space - Vol.87(6), June - Mumbai The Indian Institute of Architects 2022 - 91-92p.
India has many rich architectural icons that are symbolic
of their era and become the epitome of a philosophical
school of thought as they continue to charm for many years
ahead. One such icon is the multi-faceted creative genius
Shri Rabindranath Tagore’s Santiniketan or ‘the abode of
peace’ at Kolkata which was founded by his father Maharshi
Debendranath Tagore. Tagore’s multifarious dimensions of
ideas, expressions, and actions in the domain of literature
gave birth to this noble architecture of balance, sustainability
and progressive stature at Santiniketan. This book by Samit
Das takes us on an insightful tour of Tagore’s legacy along
with a few of his magnificent poems and paintings across the
8 chapters. Reviewing of such subjects rendered much delight
to the authors, transporting one to the days of yore.
