Ar. Achyut Prakash Kanvinde
From 1916 to 2002.
Kanvinde plays with
space and forms. His designs are slender, balanced, proportionate, neat and
well crafted. The
building is important but most important is the gate of the user. Example is “Isckon Temple”. He
gave much more
importance to the natural light. He gave such a form to the building that it
can solve the problem of
ventilation as well as excessive heat . He believed in Vernacular Architecture. He believed that
the image should be such that can set the mood and interest for which the building
stands for. Both inherent values
and historical influences contributed towards good architecture.
An art can be to nourish the senses. Art is purely an
aesthetic exercise.
He believed that a grid
of columns forming a matrix giving
structural and spatial aspect would
turn a design to more
sophisticated and faceted. He treated his building with “VASTUSHASTRA”. He also used Vernacular
Architecture in foreign.
