Architect and curator Sean Anderson remembers the Pritzker Prize–winning giant of Indian Modernism, who died this week at the age of 95.

After a threat to demolish Kahn’s dormitories at the Indian Institute of Management was averted two years ago, the board plans to raze the entire campus.

The 2022 recipient of the Royal Academy's annual award is an itinerant architect who deploys vernacular construction in southern India to create extraordinary forms and spaces.

“The Project of Independence: Architectures of Decolonization in South Asia, 1947 – 1985,” on view at the Museum of Modern Art, ignores the failings of modernist design and planning.

The celebrated architect and Pritzker Laureate has over 100 built projects across his decades-long career that has emphasized urban planning, social housing, and education.

The school, set to open in July, will serve more than 400 girls in the region.

The school has announced that 18 dormitories will be replaced with structures by an as-yet unnamed architect.
