One of the India's best-known architects, Raj Rewal is recognized internationally for buildings that respond sensitivity to the complex demands of rapid urbanization, climate and culture. In a country that is both developing and industrialized, whose architectural inheritance is ancient and recent and whose society is conservative and pluralist, Rewal's work combines sophisticated technology and a sense of history and context, imparted not only by design but by local material such as ochre and rose sandstone, evoking the great Mogul monuments.

Louis i kahn
Born February 20, 1901 on Saaremmaa Island in Kuressaare.
Kahn's Jewish parents immigrated to the United States in 1906.
His given name at birth was Itze-Leib Schmuilowsky but was changed upon arrival in the US.
Kahn's architecture is notable for its simple, platonic forms and compositions.
Through the use of brick and poured-in place concrete masonry, he developed a contemporary and monumental architecture that maintained a sympathy for the site.
While rooted in the International Style, Kahn's architecture was an amalgam of his Beaux Arts education and a personal aesthetic impulse to develop his own architectural forms.
Kahn received the AIA Gold Medal in 1971 and the RIBA Gold Medal in 1972.
Louis Kahn is considered one of the foremost architects of the late twentieth century.
On March 17, 1974, he died of a heart attack in a men's restroom in Pennsylvania Station in New York City.
Education/ Occupation
He attended the University of Pennsylvania and received his Bachelors degree in architecture at the age of 24.
After college, he worked as a senior draftsman in the office of Philadelphia City Architect John Molitor.
To find his inspiration, he traveled through Europe visiting castles and medieval strongholds in 1928, only 4 years after graduating.
He finally started his own firm in 1935.
While he still designed and worked as a design critic on the side, Louis became a professor of architecture at Yale school of Architecture.
Personal designs
Kahn created many unique an intricate buildings, but among his most memorable were…
* The Yale University Art gallery: 1951.
* The Jonas Salk institute for Biological Studies: 1965
* The Margaret Esherick house: 1961
* The National Assembly building: 1962

8. Kahn on history
"An architect is part of
the treasury of
architecture in which
the Parthenon
belongs, the
Pantheon belongs, in
which the great
lyceums during the
Renaissance belong.
All these things
belong to architecture
and make it richer."
10. Adjaye on Kahn
“I had the great pleasure of visiting the Esherick House in the
Spring of 2006. As a student I was always mesmerized by its
playful graphic geometry of the windows and the deceptive
simplicity of its plan. It was a real surprise to see the care
and joy of the materials still very much intact and it being
lived in as I’m sure Kahn would have approved. There were
two particularly ecstatic moments for me. Firstly was
ascending the beautifully crafted, Japanese- or Shaker-
esque, staircase with its simple timber balustrade, which
overlooks the living room. The second was opening the
shutter of the window in the library where knowledge and
nature seemed to freeze into one image.”
