Summary note
"Hasmukh Patel's architectural practice spanned the transformative latter decades of the 20th century. Patel navigated the political and economic changes of his time and brought his talents to bear equally on institutional, private and speculative development projects in a way that was rare among his contemporaries. He recognised that with every commission, regardless of budget, scale or type, came opportunities to further architecture's formal, civic and social agendas. Patel rarely spoke about his approach to design. And yet, each of his projects is a built manifesto, an exploration of how architecture might enrich the lives of India's modernising citizens ... His buildings belong to a deep tradition of 20th-century modernist thinking, where the legibility of the architectural diagram is a primary concern. Included here are 51 of his buildings, many published for the first time. Each project has been meticulously redrawn from material in Patel's archive and is accompanied by photographs and text informed by his recollections from practice."--Jacket flap.
