Abstractions, Illustrations Ideas: Influence Of Indian Architecture In Fantasy

Abstraction is an unreal and intangible idea. It detached and extracted from the object, reshaped and recreated. The following essay and illustrations capture an architect’s attempt to dissociate him from the objectivity of function, building, creation and other compartmentalised aspects of architectural practice. The first feature of a 3-part series looks at the influence of his childhood, education, practice and their manifestation into abstract ideas. It takes away the implied meaning attributed to the everyday and adds layers of fantasy, inspiration and unravels the working of an artist’s mind and being.
