STEP INTO INDIAN ARCHITECTUERE

His step into Indian architecture took place at Kolkata where he was the first Head of the Department of Architecture at Bengal Engineering College, Howrah. His vision in bringing architectural solutions with low-cost housing had their appendage in India with his research works in developing the prototypes for urban and rural housing that was exhibited at the International Exhibition of Low Housing in New Delhi. His contributions to the development of government housing in the zones of West Bengal and Orissa did great justice to Nehru’s idea of industrial development aiding the life of the working class. Along with Architect Benjamin Polk and Engineer Benoy Chatterjee he successfully equipped developing industrialized India in coping with the social realities through economic design solutions that were a great reflection of his own simplistic philosophy.
