Architecte pionnier de l'Inde contemporaine, Raj Rewal débute sa carrière porté par l'élan d'émancipation et de modernisation de cette nation indépendante depuis 1947. Dans cette série d'entretiens avec Sandrine Gill, il offre un regard vivant sur ses projets les plus emblématiques, et livre les clés de sa conception de l'architecture. Formé en Europe, c'est à New Delhi qu'il établit son agence en 1961. Il se libère rapidement des schémas conceptuels occidentaux modernes et développe une démarche alternative, créative et efficace. Il puise son inspiration dans l'architecture traditionnelle de l'Inde qu'il conjugue aux techniques les plus innovantes. Grâce à cette approche, ses réalisations s'accordent avec imagination et subtilité au contexte local à la fois climatique, social, économique et industriel. Une vision éthique à contre-courant de la standardisation qui s'impose à travers le monde. Considéré comme l'un des architectes les plus marquants du continent indien, Raj Rewal est l'auteur d'une œuvre bâtie remarquable par sa diversité et profondément humaniste

Emerging in the death throes of colonial rule, the story of Tropical Modernism is one of politics and power, decolonization and defiance. Its leading proponents, British architects Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry, adapted a utopian Bauhaus-derived Modernist aesthetic to hot and humid conditions. After Independence, Tropical Modernism was championed by leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru and Kwame Nkrumah as a symbol of freedom, progressiveness and internationalism in monumental projects such as Chandigarh in Punjab planned by Le Corbusier and Black Star Square in Accra designed by Victor Adegbite. Scrutinizing the colonial narratives surrounding Tropical Modernism, and foregrounding the experience of African and Indian practitioners, this book reassesses an architectural style which has increasing relevance in today's changing climate.
