About The Book
The Architecture of I. M. Kadri delves into the life and work of Iftikhar M. Kadri, a prominent architect who founded IMK Architects and played a vital role in shaping the architectural landscape of Mumbai and beyond. Starting his practice in the 1950s, Kadri contributed immensely to the emerging typologies of high-rise apartments, office towers, and hospitality buildings during the formative years of post-Independence India. His influence expanded to the Middle East, Hong Kong, Tajikistan, Malaysia, and various other international locations.
This book traces Kadri’s contributions as an architect in the context of India's commercial capital, Mumbai, providing a unique perspective on the city's evolution. His work, deeply intertwined with the real estate boom and the commercial growth of the city, highlights a distinct history of architecture in India, contrasting with the more widely recognized developments in Delhi and Ahmedabad. Through Kadri's journey, the book opens discussions on modern and traditional architecture in India and the role of architecture in shaping a nation.
The Architecture of I. M. Kadri also explores his intellectual contribution to architectural thought in India—recognizing his deep involvement in debates about beauty, strength, and the intersection of architecture with politics and economics. This volume is a significant effort to preserve and analyze Kadri's architectural legacy and his influence on the architectural discourse in India.
