There should be some poetry about the building, says Raj Rewal

There is something about a Raj Rewal design that keeps you riveted. Even if they are just models that surround his desk in his office in New Delhi's Sheikh Sarai. You can spot the iconic Parliament Library, Ismaili Centre in Lisbon, the demolished Hall of Nations at the Pragati Maidan Exhibition Centre, office complex of Coal India in Kolkata and the Asian Games Village, to name a few. In a career that spans 36 years, 84-year-old Rewal has been instrumental in changing the Indian design landscape. Rewal like his designs can't help but stand out from the crowd. A reservoir of information, an afternoon with him will leave you with a wealth of interesting anecdotes.
