Raj Rewal

"Yet, in the Modern Movement, there are very few architects who can successfully interpret form intrinsically in the context of culture and extrinsically in the context of climate and natural environment. Luis Baragan from Mexico and Alvar Aalto from Finland can be counted among the architects of the previous generation who achieved this goal. Today, the country with the most intense focus on this objective is India, with architects such as Charles Correa, Balkrishna Doshi, Romi Khosla, Anand Raje, and Ranjit Sabikhi being the Indians who dedicate their thought and talent to this endeavor. More importantly, the fame of each of them has transcended India and become international. Raj Rewal, on the other hand, holds a separate position in this environment, focused on Delhi, valuing the generally Islamic architectural heritage of North India and using these values as a starting point." -Suha Özkan-
