Description
The Architecture Travelogues are a compilation of Authors diverse forays into familiar as well as uncharted terrain. By train, bus, by foot and bicycle and at times with a hitch-hikers board. They are based on notes and sketches as well as on recall. In the reconstructions, reality often meets fiction, creating a map that is partly an imprint and partly ephemeral. The accretive experiences of people, places and cultures were akin to life’s finishing school.
About the authors
Edgar Demello
The principal of EDA Bangalore; have attended the Schools in Delhi’s SPA and the TU at Delft. Travelled extensively in Europe before returning to private practice – now, for close to four decades. Have taught at various schools in the south and more recently part of the adjunct faculty at RVCA Bangalore. In 2000 started tAG&B, the Architecture Gallery & Bookshop. This was a level platform for the coming together of practitioners, academics and students. This morphed into CoLab, a virtual gallery that investigates intersections of other disciplines, especially art, on the making of architecture(s). Have recently made a foray into writing, especially Architecture Fables for Children as well as illustrated Travelogues of curated trips with (not only) architects.
