A Vision for Future
Winner of the Notions of India competition, Nuru Karim, derives his
inspiration from India’s freedom struggle while designing a symbol for
the future
Express Feature Service
Architect Nuru Karim may believe in designing buildings of the future,
yet for inspiration he believes in looking at the past. The Mumbai-based
architect was pronounced as the winner of the Notions of India
competition in Kolkata on Monday evening. The competition was launched
by Tata Structura earlier this year to design a ‘symbol’ that would
celebrate the spirit of contemporary India, yet remain rooted in its
traditions. Over 110 architects from all over the country participated
in it from which Karim was chosen as the winner for his design, ‘The
Charkha’.
