Re: [mpisgmedia] the architect of Chanakya Cinema

we can think of making a 'biography of a building' dossier on Architexturez should somebody offer to do so -- i am not from delhi, but visited the complex quite often when i was visiting here and stayed in malcha marg. the corbusieran hotel next door, who is it by?

i think it will be an important document to have. public market complexes in india are not documented in any meaningful way, for the complexity and richness they offer your urban life. anyone interested in doing this? gita, nalini, leads?

==============================================
Chanakya theatre is an important building of Delhi. In fact the entire
Yashwwant Place Complex. It represents a reasonably good culmination of
modern architectural ideas. This is part of our Delhi recent development.
I'm sorry that the NDMC does not know how to appreciate its own endeavours.
Any ideas what we should do.
