I would say Laurie Baker – not because he used bricks, but the spirit, attention, care, love, and

the dignity he gave to his projects.

Architects pay costly homage to the value of speed. Everywhere, overhasty construction

takes no account of the difficult climatic conditions. As a result, buildings and people are engaged in a vain combat against heat,

the monsoon and urban asphyxia, in the absence of a sensible approach to the

development of the city.

Even if I’ve done five projects, only through what I do, what I do well, what I am capable of, that I will be able to make a difference. That means operating with 100% attention, love and knowledge.

All great work is created with complete submission to one’s limitations and abilities, with a

realisation that this is greater than us, than our lifetime. And when it

transcends all of that, as this painting did, it’s not about the physicality

anymore; it has its own life form. The creator turns anonymous, doesn’t

matter.

As for work in the future, I’m in a sailboat and a lot of form and shape comes with continuous reading of the wind and weather. Thus the dialogue is continuous. I have no aspiration of being an office of 200 people.

The head carpenter is the most valuable person in my studio. A person who works with dignity and detail. I want to cultivate people of that calibre, to create a resource of this kind of infrastructure who can then

go and proliferate into the industry. That is the endeavour of this studio.
