there is all your optional traditional if we see what it's like to tie the cypriot snot. well it's not easy to sum up a career that spans 6 decades spot with its retrospective on balakrishna dossie the 1st ever outside of asia the vittra design museum brings his vast range of work into context for western visitors as an architect and urban planner da she was strongly influenced by water masters like local news here but always stayed very true to his indian roots or such that his work never loses sight of the bigger picture nor of the people it's meant to serve. new spaces unique forms expansive horizons with his architecture here on display at the beach design museum krishna da she has always push boundaries.

of course to reform and formlessness. the form should not be finite but should be amorphous soledad be experience with. people. in the $990.00 s. the indian architect designed the am divide nikki for art gallery as an underground cave she wanted to build something magical something with cosmic significance something still rooted in the local culture even more important was the buildings location exhaustible the campus of the university where she founded the school of architecture. compartmentalize really the street you focused. we lose interest most of the word of us so this school for. science has fruits of fully.

he built a school in his mid thirty's in the indian city of amanda baggs surrounded by nature with spacious rooms and. she encourages unlimited curiosity in his students he practices this in his own work by asking the question of how people can develop further with the help of architecture. she grew up in a large family it's cramped shared living spaces as a teenager he vowed to devote his life to helping india's poor. in 1951 left paris 24 had no money and didn't speak french he wanted to learn from the. architect built many projects in india assisted by. she was not just his student he developed his own style linking western modernism with indian traditions the individual's freedom stands at the center of our christian she's work he lives his creator himself saying if you have nothing to

lose you have nothing to fear. the whole ride from the culture has joined me to tell us more about krishna. absolutely amazing to me this man is 91 years old and yet it's also become a big name in architecture. yeah it is interesting because he worked with some of the greats worked on some very big projects with. and because yeah with a number of other very big architects. it was and was only last year when he won the pritzker prize that he was sort of trust into the limelight i think before that he was little known outside of not little known but he wasn't that well known outside of india ready. he obviously wasn't taking part in this whole whole sexy r. kapoor crowd but it seems he's got a much more humble approach that struck me is not famous for for designing airports

or you know skyscrapers or things like that he's famous for designing houses and places for people to live in on the grounds is stuff isn't gimmicky and doesn't fall he doesn't follow trends that much it does change over time perhaps that's a little bit why he's not he wasn't so well known and it's always sort of very much taking this long term view and it was very astute to cultural needs and location yet it was inspired by manhattan again day in terms of his housing some of his housing ideas. and you know so it was also the sort of idea that the residents needs might change over time. it's interesting that it's environment his own life obviously dictated the development of his style can you tell us a little bit more about that and him as a man for his own life he grew up in

a very large family with sort of restricted living space and so every each room had to be used for whatever the day called for so one day it's the dining room one day it's the sleeping quarters and so. his architecture is very fluid what we see of his work he works a lot with inside indoor outdoor spaces and these images that we just saw from the veteran. museum were. were a model of his most famous one of his most famous designs which was the iran your housing and that was that's very interesting so people there can like just adjust the houses to their own needs whether they have more children whether they get more money you know whatever the needs might be so very adaptable stuff you know on that note you know architecture for the people is the name of this exhibition just quickly tell us a little bit more about it well it's the veteran museum like i said in vile brine in southern germany it focuses on impacts in terms of indian design in his work

but also looks at the social context behind his work his very humanist philosophy and his indian roots combined with his indian education as well as his western european education so very much in tune also with the bow holes philosophy that was informing the work of his mentors like trick or busy and i very much like that idea of space being a living thing and that is a very very play for the general architecture for the people on until september 8th melissa hall right thank you very much for bringing us all that background information. moving even farther east in asia fans of asian food will be familiar with hot pot as the chinese equivalent more last 2 are fondue so it's a simmering pot of soup stock that comes straight to your table and in it you can cook everything from slices of meat vegetables tofu and of course seafood and in the taiwanese capital taipei they've made an arse of it so at the risk of getting
