| Summary, etc. | This volume is a comprehensive monograph chronicling the personal and professional journey of the Indian architect and urban conservationist Brinda Somaya, from 1975 to the present. Belonging to the 'Bridge Generation', her work transcends stylistic vocabulary and draws its inspiration from Indian culture, the landscape of the subcontinent and principles of sustainable design and intervention.<br/><br/>The book explores a cross-section of Somaya's diverse typology of projects, including housing, institutions, conservation, urban design, social design and industrial works that represent a unique 'non-stylistic' grammar that has a sense of 'order and appropriateness'. Situating her work in a broader context, the essays in this volume offer multiple perspectives on Somaya's accomplishments, while the dialogues outline the concerns central to her work.<br/><br/>Contents:<br/>Foreword - James Stewart Polshek; Preface - Ruturaj Parikh; Acknowledgements; Introduction - Nandini Somaya Sampat; On India - Arun Shourie and Brinda Somaya; Bhadli village and Vasant Vidyalaya; Campus for Zensar Technologies; The Cathedral & John Connon School; Tata Consultancy Services Headquarters; Working from Mumbai - Kamu Iyer, Mary N.
