Past as present: Pedagogical practices in architecture at the Bombay School of Art - Mumbai 2016 - 140 Pages
Pedagogy at the Bombay School of Art found its
momentum with John Griffith, former Painting Master,
taking over as the Head of the School. From 1880 to
1895, Griffith promoted the documentation and
understanding of the Local. His grand project (that he
led from the front), the decade-long exercise to
document the murals of the Western Indian cave temples
of Ajanta, would form the template on which much of
later the learning would happen after. In a school of art
where painting, sculpture and architecture were all part of
a simultaneous process, documentation and drawing
became the cornerstones.
