Language: English. Brand new Book. For the first time this classic is available in a richly illustrated edition. It is a must read for India freaks and serious architects everywhere, the Second Edition of India's only architectural book ever to rank in the Top Ten Best Selling Non-fiction Books, entitled Letters to a Young Architect, is now appearing with one hundred and thirty-two colour, and black and white, illustrations. An all inclusive Index makes it easy for readers to locate people, places and ideas they wish to study. The author, Christopher Charles Benninger, is respected as one of India's leading architectural theorists and practitioners. He has won the Great Master's Award, the Architect of the Decade Award, the Indian Institute of Architects Award, the American Institute of Architects/Architectural Record/Business Week Award and many more. This book was awarded the Best Architectural Book of 2012 by Archidesign. The Chinese translation was released in January 2013 and the Gujarati version in November 2013. The book's narrative is a poetic and sensitive memoir of a stranger's adventures in Asia and his transformation in India. The book debates concerns about architectural theory, design and contemporary urban planning. Through the medium of written discourses and talks presented over the past decade, a lucid collection of essays emerge that testify the commonality of mankind's condition. This is a collection of autobiographical narratives and ideas, reflecting a journey of the spirit from America and Europe to India, and the philosophical considerations that matured from these experiences. His travels are not only stories of the dusty roads he traveled on, but also of the passions and emotions of those he met along the way. Letters to a Young Architect reflects on the role and direction of architecture in framing a new man and a new society in the new millennium. Benninger notes his encounters with gurus like Kevin Lynch, Charles and Ray Eames, Jose Luis Sert, Walter Gropius, Arnold Toynbee and Buckminster Fuller, and the manner in which their personal passion for humanity shaped the lives of others. Benninger is a strong believer in tradition, in gurus and in students and in a lineage of values, ideals, principles and of practices which have been matured from generation to generation. He is concerned with the education of architects; the nature of architecture itself; and the role of urbanism and planning in the creation of a new society. The role of Indian masters like Balkrishna Doshi, who guided him in his search, is a touching tribute to the Indian "Guru-Shishya" tradition. Christopher Benninger prepared the Capital Plan for Thimphu, Bhutan; for six cities in Sri Lanka and many towns and cities across Bhutan, India, and Sri Lanka. His well known architectural works include the Suzlon One Earth, the United World College of India, the Samundra Institute of Maritime Studies, the Indian Institute of Management at Kolkata, the Centre for Development Studies and Activities in Pune and the Kirloskar Institute of Advanced management Studies in Pune. He founded the School of Planning at CEPT University in Ahmedabad, India after a stint teaching at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University where he studied architecture.

Publisher's description: "Born an American, celebrated in India as a leading architect and urbanist, Benninger possesses a sense of timelessness that spreads across oceans and over mountains. Letters to a Young Architect is a sensitive memoir of his life in India and his personal concerns about architectural theory and contemporary urban issues. The book represents a mature reflection of lessons learned along an ardous journey. Through the medium of articles and lectures presented over the past decade, a lucid collection of essays emerges to testify to the commonality of the human condition. The book documents a fifty-year passage, beginning in America in the 1960´s, studying under the great master Jose Luis Sert, and continuing in the Indian subcontinent through a critical period of India´s ascendance. This is a collection of autobiographical narratives and ideas reflecting a man´s journey of the spirit from America to India and the philosophical considerations that matured from his experiences. Letters to a Young Architect reflects on the role and the direction of architecture in framing a new man and a new society in the new millennium. He notes his encounters with gurus like Walter Gropius, Arnold Toynbee and Buckminster Fuller and the manner in which their personal passion for humanity shaped the lives of others. His journey is not only stories from the dusty roads he travelled on, but also of the passions and emotions of those he met along the way. Benninger is a strong believer in tradition, in gurus and in students and in a linage of values, ideals, principles and practices that have evolved and matured from generation to generation. His “Principles of Intelligent Urbanismö have provided an alternative to a new generation of urban planners and designers, who feel the fatigue of imported ideas impaled over the global landscape. Benninger is concerned with the education of architects; the very nature of architecture itself; and, the role of urbanism and planning in the creation of a new society. The role of Indian masters, like Balkrishna Doshi who guided him in his searches, are touching tributes to the Indian “Guru-Shishyaö tradition. Benninger has a clear agenda to create human scale relationships within his spatial arrangements; to link indoor activities with exterior settings, utilizing the salubrious Indian climate to create live-work spaces; to employ local motifs, signs and symbols to bring meaning to the environment; to reduce energy consumption in both the construction and the life cycle operation of his buildings; to celebrate traditional materials and crafts; and to use the “charismaö of architecture to bring a sense of identity to a place and its inhabitants. His narrative presents a language that lies between American ideals found in its wooded, Arcadian landscapes, and sacred notions enshrined within Asian courtyards, generating a unique approach to architecture and place making." -- with a bonus offer .

This is a collection of autobiographical narratives and ideas reflecting a man’s journey of the spirit from America to India and the philosophical considerations that matured from his experiences. Letters to a Young Architect reflects on the role and the direction of architecture in framing a new man and a new society in the new millennium. He notes his encounters with gurus like Walter Gropius, Arnold Toynbee and Buckminster Fuller and the manner in which their personal passion for humanity shaped the lives of others. His journey is not only stories from the dusty roads he travelled on, but also of the passions and emotions of those he met along the way. Benninger is a strong believer in tradition, in gurus and in students and in a linage of values, ideals, principles and practices that have evolved and matured from generation to generation. His “Principles of Intelligent Urbanism” have provided an alternative to a new generation of urban planners and designers, who feel the fatigue of imported ideas impaled over the global landscape. Benninger is concerned with the education of architects; the very nature of architecture itself; and, the role of urbanism and planning in the creation of a new society. The role of Indian masters, like Balkrishna Doshi who guided him in his searches, are touching tributes to the Indian “Guru-Shishya” tradition. Benninger has a clear agenda to create human scale relationships within his spatial arrangements; to link indoor activities with exterior settings, utilizing the salubrious Indian climate to create live-work spaces; to employ local motifs, signs and symbols to bring meaning to the environment; to reduce energy consumption in both the construction and the life cycle operation of his buildings; to celebrate traditional materials and crafts; and to use the “charisma” of architecture to bring a sense of identity to a place and its inhabitants. His narrative presents a language that lies between American ideals found in its wooded, Arcadian landscapes, and sacred notions enshrined within Asian courtyards, generating a unique approach to architecture and place making.
