CRITIQUE Satish Gujral’s artistic talent can clearly be seen in his buildings. There seems to be a constant flow between the open, landscaped areas and the built form. He once stated “forms follows culture” and that is clearly seen in his buildings which seem to merge with their surroundings and adapt to their context.
He designs buildings as pieces of art and wants people to experience them as such. His use of exposed brick give an earthy organic feel. This makes the spaces he creates inviting and open. His arrangement of spaces and used of archway and domes are done is such a way so as to connect with the user and make them feel comfortable. In certain ways, he also follows the ideology of form over function, but give more importance to human experience when one is inside or using the building, than when one is just viewing it.
