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.

Centre Georges Pompidou Built in Paris between 1971 and 1977, the Pompidou Center is the proud home to a public library, the largest modern art museum in Europe (the Musée National d’Art Moderne), and a top-of-the-league music and acoustics study center. Piano built the structure as an over-the-top ode to high-tech architecture in which he strives to reveal a building’s inner workings and technological marvels that typically remain hidden beneath its surface. Parco della Musica Considered one of the most-visited music facilities in the world, Rome’s Parco della Musica was designed by Piano on the same grounds of the 1960 Summer Olympic Games. The facilities comprise three massive dome-like structures that hold three separate concert halls.
