Well depicted. But then showing recent pic of MOHP building with the added floor to sketch out the damage done to Louis I Kahn would have done the justice.
One more thing: You must have had quite a few students who studied under you. How come no one writes their view? Don't they have anything to say/contribute? Or do they wholeheartedly, 100% agree with you (you know, being in Nepal, guru chela dynamics... Maybe I am wrong)???
I enjoyed your talk on Modern Architecture. From watching this episode, I gathered that the life span of a modern building is often very short. Yet, there are some that stand the test of time. I imagine that all the ancient buildings we now admire-the Parthenon, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the Colosseum-are what have remained from their eras, perhaps even considered cutting-edge at the time (who knows?). We mourn their loss, but we move on to new things. We create, destroy, and repeat the cycle. One more thing: are Ujwal and others restoring that modern-day "ancient ruin"? It would be wonderful if they are truly restoring it-walking the walk-rather than, you know, just using it as a photo op. Were you talking Michael Graves' (13:07) building on your way to NY from Boston? Or were you talking about something else? Graves' building is in Portland that houses a hotel among other businesses.
