Event Description : The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library cordially invites you to a Seminar on ‘Mansinh M. Rana 1921-2012: Celebrating the architect’ by Mr. Kshitij Rana, Architect, New Delhi.
Abstract : Born in Kantharia, Gujarat M.M. Rana did his schooling in Porbandar and studied architecture at the JJ School of Arts in Mumbai. Towards the end of his education he came across the works & writings of the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He was so inspired that he wrote to Mr. Wright and was accepted as an apprentice at Mr. Wright’s studio and office at Taliesin in Wisconsin and Arizona. His voyage of discovery started in 1947 and lasted four years. A chance meeting with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in Chicago in 1949 eventually pulled him back to India in 1951 and he settled in Delhi. Among the early projects was Bal Bhawan (1953) soon after which he joined the Government of India. The significant projects that followed were Buddha Jayanti Commemoration Park (1956), Shanti Vana Samadhi (1964), India Pavilion at New York World’s Fair (1964), India Pavilion at Montreal Expo (1967), Nehru Memorial Library (1974), Nehru Planetarium (1980), Nehru Memorial Library Annexe (1983), and The National Library at Kolkata (2005). He received a Padma Shri in 1967 for his contribution to architecture. His greatest legacy however is as an educator. He was instrumental in setting up The Sushant School of Art and Architecture in Gurgaon in 1989 and nurturing it for many years and was actively involved with it in many avatars up to 2012. The talk will dwell upon the life and work of Mansinh M Rana accompanied by photographs, drawings and text references.
Speaker : Mr. Kshitij Rana graduated from The School of Planning and Architecture in 1982 and is a practising architect in New Delhi.
