‘A Man without Mask' - A TRIBUTE TO AR PRADEEP SACHDEVA

For an architect, it is always a great achievement if his creations are imprinted in the minds of the people. This kind of feat was achieved by Ar Pradeep Sachdeva when he designed iconic public spaces like The Garden of Five Senses and Delhi Haat. An alumni of IIT-Roorkee, he was an expert in designing public spaces and giving an urban outlook the heritage precincts while retaining their soul, Ar Sachdeva left for heavenly abode during the early hours of May 31st, 2020 due to heart attack. Surfaces Reporter (SR) feels it is a great loss to the Indian Architecture Fraternity, a void which cannot be filled.
