I greatly admire American Architect
Joseph Allen Stein for
his spatial planning , building proportions and his interesting use of materials. I
chanced to visit Stein’s famous building – the
India Habitat Centre
in New Delhi,
which was constructed in the late 80’s. Stein has used several design
techniques to enhance the micro climate of the building to mitigate the
extremities of the Delhi
climate.
I enjoyed strolling thro' the huge courtyards and plazas at the peak of Delhi summer. This is a must visit place
for architecture students, not because the Council of Architecture is located in
this premises, but to witness Architecture of a very high order!
