We incorporate a channel of expression and commu-nication, with both an international and local focus, the journey being a motor of an architectural and cultural experience. We intend to spread architec-tural concepts and other art forms with a vision that ranges from the specific to the general. Connecting local culture and architecture in a unique and sur-prising manner.

We want to share our catalogue with clients, friends, authors and professionals by providing them with a way to communicate their design and publications in a traditional and digital format.

If you have a book idea or proposal that connects lo-cal culture and architecture, Altrim Publishers can help you publish it. Altrim Publishers is currently ac-cepting from initial ideas to finished designs. submit your proposal to [email protected]

Indian Architectural Travel guides

‘The trip is constant learning, it is discovery, it is culture. Since the trip can draw visions of the past and present, of life in other countries, in other towns and cities, in other areas; this is the reason why the journey is a constant analysis. You want that the conclusions are more exact to contrast them with other visits, with other experiences, and by doing this, generating this learning journey. Over the years I have discovered that India is one of the best places to do this.’

The Indian Architectural Travel Guides Col-lection introduces ancient, modern and con-temporary heritage and architects of India.

With these useful pocket guides, visitors will discover the cities and its architecture through practical itineraries, as well as sug-gestions for other places you can visit on the outskirts of the cities.

Each itinerary offers practical information to enjoy the architecture and visitors will be in-troduced to the culture and lifestyle of the cities along with the “Facts for the visitor” chapter.

All projects are presented with maps, pho-tographs, plans, practical information about how to get around the city, and an archi-tectonical explanation text. We’ve selected the best experts from every city, architects who have been working on these cities for a long time.

7372 ITINERARY IV GOVERNMENT HOUSING I (SECTOR 22)

This is a well preserved building with an elegant street façade that seems to be derived as much from the famous art-deco facades of the Bombay early C20 cinemas as it does from modernism - an arched frame, a protruding billboard panel and a curved ticket booth con-nected to a thin cantilevered entrance porch. Internally too, the plan displays art-deco sensibilities – while the main auditorium is designed with great care

to create a sense of theatre to it, all the other rooms seem to be pushed into the residual area with a several odd-shaped residual spaces and strangely shaped rooms (a for instance the projection room on the second floor). The interior is however beautifully finished in polished white terrazzo and teakwood panels that are gracefully illuminated with concealed built in lighting fixtures.

One of Drew’s first Chandigarh build-ings, this is a curiously defined structure. Although is essentially organized around a central courtyard, the plan, for such a small building, is very significantly nu-anced to adjust for programmatic particu-larities. Two additional small courts are introduced for daylighting, a tuberculosis wing generates a blocked off corner and a special protruding examination room, one set of Doctor’s offices have corridors

on both sides and one on only one side and the auditorium has its own semi-enclosed court. In a sense plan belongs more to the pre-modern sensibilities of spatial planning, than the modernist ones of underlying structural and aesthetic orders. The buildings street presence, an entrance porch in the form of a thin ex-tended cantilevered canopy, complete with a waiting bench, is a sculpture of dignity and precision.

H VIKRAMĀDITYA PRAKĀSH

Paperback 80 pages With colour photographs and plans.8.27 x 5.83” (210 x 148 mm)

In each of the books you will get to know in a better and more insightful way the 10 best works of architecture of each architects, these buildings or designs have revolutionized their country’s architecture or have even transcended internationally, becoming worldwide icons. Each design is covered in depth presented with graphic and photographic material as well as an analytical text the revises and updated to today’s context the works of architecture.

Initially intended to be a simple variation of Le Corbusier’s School

of Art, this building ultimately was subtly reinterpreted by Ad-

itya Prakash to accommodate its smaller budget per square foot as

compared to that of its model. Rather than eliminate the program,

Prakash choose to economise by using the Modulor to scale the

building down. In the process, he also revised the Modulor dimen-

sions to fit the Indian brick size. While the basic section and the

rhythm of the piers of the two buildings are the same, the plan and

overall character of the College of Architecture feels quite different

because of its rescaling. The final curve of the studio beams is also

quite different. The entrance corridor, the big courtyard, the mas-

sive beams, and the detailing of the front brise-soleil façade are all

worth paying close attention to. The library addition in the back by

S.S. Bhatti is also quite remarkable.

Ceremonia de entrega de las lllaves de las viviendas a sus propietarios por parte de las autoridades públicas.

“Vaig construir uns quants edificis per a les cooperatives al barri de Sant Genís. Tenien varis paràmetres en comú: una topografia del terreny molt similar, tots els projectes estaven destinats a habitatges socials, amb escassos mitjans econòmics per a la seva realització, etc.Tot i aquests condicionants, a l’Estudi ens vam esforçar per treure de cadascun d’ells el màxim partit possible: solucions en planta amb distri-bucions molt estudiades per disminuir els costos, solucions constructives simples però dignes, etc.En els casos en què el solar ho permetia vam privilegiar plantes amb eixos de simetria molt clars i ordenacions molt repetitives; i al contrari, en el cas de solars més irregulars vam intentar jugar emfatitzant les inevitables reculades de les façanes”. (M. Alvarez Trincado, Converses, 2002)

If the home design is the essence of architectonical design, architects own homes are like architectural philosophies. And not only the architects have design the layout, even they had work on each detail creating a total home. Lighting, artwork, furnishings, every detail adds one more item to the architect creativity, reflecting their personality.The works sellection shows different generation of Indian architects, where each of these dwellings speaks more about its designer than any other of his building possibly could do.

Hasmukhbhai and Bhaktiben’s House

How should one live in order to live a genuinely good life? What values should one espouse? Philosophers write books to pro-pound their views on these questions. Architects design houses to do the same. The architecture of Hasmukhbhai’s house speaks of his views on these very important questions. I grew up in Hasmukbhai and Bhaktiben’s house. I continue to go there almost every day for lunch. Of course, the lunch that my mother makes for my father and me is delightful and nourishing. But so is the architecture of the house. It continues to educate and nourish me on those most important questions and I want to share some of what I have learnt.

My first hazy memories are of the house being constructed on a distant and barren plot surrounded by open fields. I was eight years old. As the house neared completion, Sundays became site visit days. I remember sitting and watching the carpenters at work on the dark and hard rosewood, waiting for my father to finish giving instruction to all the different people at work. The rosewood was a subject of much discussion. The carpenters, while admiring its dark beauty, kept complaining about how hard and difficult it was to work on. It was also an unusually rich and luxurious material – in a fairly modest house. It was possible to use rosewood only because my maternal grandfather was a wealthy wood merchant. Apart from providing the lovely rosewood, he had also helped pay for the land, and though, as a whole, the house venture relied primarily on my father’s courage and earnings, with characteristic generosity he wanted the house to be legally my mother’s property.
