  • Prasad had never worked with Corbusier or under any master of that stature. In the Shri Ram Centre building he used a stilted and visually floating, large concrete cylinder, to house the main auditorium. Above this hovers a much larger, squat, cantilevering rectangular block, designed as flexible multifunctional space. Excerpt from Rajat Ray’s article in: SOS Brutalism: A Global Survey. Catalog DAM + Wüstenrot Foundation, Zurich (Park Books) 2017
