BIOGRAPHY

From 195 2 - 1974, Satish Gujral had scores of solo shows of his sculptures, paintings and graphics in Mexico City, New York, New Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Montreal, Rome, Berlin, Tokyo, Buenos Aires and Stockholm.

•Since the late '80s up to the recent years, Satish Gujral's paintings and sculptures further diversified both in terms of materials and content.

•In 1977 Satish Gujral started actively exploring the elusive vocabulary of the International Style in modem architecture.

•Satish Gujral's sculptures in burnt wood have come with a kind of visceral exposure of forms, human and otherwise.

The embassy was one of Satish Gujral's most challenging assignments, winning him national and international awards. In 2000, the building was recognised as one of the 1000 best buildings in the 19th century

Embassy buildings is have four major units are in all corners of the semi triangular shaped plot- the Ambassadors Residence, the Chancery, the Counsel's’ residence and the servant quarters. “By placing them in this way Satish Gujaral created a tension between the buildings.

The Belgian Embassy is a sculptural form, specially from the outside. Moving inside is like moving through sculptured space.” Herein lies the problem. “ Probably after having conceived of the form, Gujral didn’t want to compromise with it and was therefore not able to plan the openings, windows and doors, “ he clarifies adding “ we architects feel that form of the building should emerge form the foundations and function rather then vice versa.”

The front facade consists of two large cupolas with a central fold above the entrance.[4]The entrance opens into a courtyard with stone masonry and greenery within. The building is constructed with red bricks. The ubiquitous red brick construction of the building has been compared to early architectural forms prevalent in Mohenjo-daroand the buddhist architecture in Sanchi and Nalanda.
