Aakash Srivastav, an young architect responds to Shubhayan Modak’s open Letter to Hafeez Contractor, and shares where we are wrong in blaming the ‘people’s architect.’
I wonder why things have degraded and turned so disagreeable. Had Contractor embarked the ethical path, and possessed the scarce merit or the genius unparalleled, the world would have had made his time a very precious commodity. A genuine high projects-oriented mobility for Hafeez would have afforded him a ‘plane ownership’ long ago (what we introduced jovially in the beginning, arguably becomes a potent yardstick of a professional’s indispensability!).
Shubhayan Modak, a young architect writes a letter to the celebrated architect Hafeez Contractor, who offered Indian Railways to do the master plan for 19 railway stations for free.
Stay inspired. Curious.
