“As much as this book may help young students to become good architects… it seeks to restore the idealism that was once the hallmark of the profession.”—Praveen Bavadekar reviews Five Architectural Fables

Praveen Bavadekar

Praveen Bavadekar, in his review for Five Architectural Fables by Edgar Demello, opines how the architectural fables ingeniously critique urban design through non-human perspectives, transforming complex environmental and design challenges into provocative, imaginative storytelling.

“My work is the story of my life, continuously evolving, changing and searching… searching to take away the role of architecture, and look only at life.” – B.V.Doshi

Architecture Travelogues: Drawing between the lines, book by Edgar Demello

Rajesh Advani

The Architecture Travelogues, by Edgar Demello, are a compilation of diverse forays into familiar as well as uncharted terrain. By train, bus, by foot and bicycle and at times with a hitchhiker’s board. They are based on notes and sketches as well as on recall. In the reconstructions, reality often meets fiction, creating a map that is partly an imprint and partly ephemeral. The accretive experiences of people, places, and cultures were akin to life’s finishing school.

Edgar Demello

Our work looks at the shifting, fluid and the negotiable rather than the fixed, static and rigid. This view cultivates design that is infrastructural and catalytic, setting in motion materials and habitations that resonate beyond the scale of intervention on a given site. ~ Anuradha Mathur.
