Talking Architecture is the fourth book in the series of Ramin Jahanbegloo's interviews of prominent intellectuals who have influenced modern Indian thought. Focusing on the life, thought, and ideas of Raj Rewal, one of India's leading contemporary architects, the dialogue flows effortlessly from Rewal's descriptions of his early life and experiences in Europe to discussions encompassing the aesthetic foundations of Indian architecture as well as the role of architecture in the twenty-first century. This engaging volume also includes a large number of evocative visuals-photographs, drawings, and sketches-that, together with the stimulating conversation, capture and illuminate Rewal's work as well as evoke and challenge ideas about the aesthetics of urban spaces, the fusion of the essence of Eastern and Western traditions, and the role of an Indian architect in a global context.
