Founder of the 50-year-old firm CP Kukreja Architects (CPKA), Kukreja passed away last year at the age of 80. It’s the third in the series of exhibitions on modern Indian architects. Advertising“The aim of these exhibitions is to impart awareness about modern architecture in India as a missing link in Indian architecture history and highlight its significance for our society and future generations. This becomes even more relevant in the light of recent demolitions of these modern buildings,” says Bhawna Dandona, at SSAA, one of the curators of the show. His son Dikshu affirms his father’s view of looking eastward for inspiration at a time when international architects such as Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn were leaving their imprints on India’s landscape and design minds.
