Safdarjang Residence: A Homage to Louis Kahn's architectural legacy

Louis Kahn's work left an indelible mark on the architectural landscape of the Indian subcontinent. Informed by the post-colonial era, his designs found a delicate balance between Corbusian aesthetics and regional modernism. The Indian Institute of Management at Ahmedabad and the Bangladesh Assembly at Dhaka stand as testaments to his artistry, combining sombre monolithic forms with the strength of local materials to evoke a mystical and serene monumentality work done by AKDA.

Central to Kahn's design language was puncturing vast brick and concrete walls with soaring geometric voids, harnessing the transformative power of light and shadow. These voids, often in circular form, exemplified the purity of conceptualisation and the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Indian architectural traditions.
