DESCRIPTION:Mahendra Raj\, in conversation with Aurelio Muttoni\, Eric Lap
 ierre and Ariel Huber. Introduction: Vandini Mehta and Rohit Raj Mehndirat
 ta\nThis lecture-debate on the creative collaboration between engineers an
 d architects is a contribution to the ENAC programme 'Projeter Ensemble' a
 iming to train the future generation of engineers and architects to work t
 ogether on the development of our built environment.\nMahendra Raj transla
 ted highly progressive and experimental structural systems into the Indian
  reality – in absence of the modern techniques and machinery available i
 n the West at the time. His impressive oeuvre were calculated for a good p
 art without the help of computers\, and realised with simplest technical m
 eans and impressive manual skills. In collaboration with some of the fines
 t architects active in India at the time – Charles Correa\, Balkrishna D
 oshi\, Raj Rewal\, Joseph Allen Stein and Louis Kahn to name a few – Mah
 endra Raj was able to realise an impressive oeuvre of spectacular structur
 es\, which helped define the architectural language of Nehru’s Modern In
 dia.
