Biography

Akbar Hotel in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi constructed 1965-1969

His work is influenced by Le Corbusier, even though it is not completely clear if the two have ever worked together or not.

His works include the Akbar Hotel in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, which was constructed between 1965-69 with Mahendra Raj for the India Tourism Development Corporation. It has elements of Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation. The Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts was constructed from 1966-69 and Tibet House in 1970.
