London Hosts Exhibition on India’s Post-Independence Architectural Journey

London, September 30, 2024 – The CP Kukreja Foundation for Design Excellence is presenting a special exhibition, ‘Reimagining Architectural Transformations in Post-Independent India,’ at the Nehru Centre, London, from September 30 to October 4, 2024. The event showcases the significant evolution of India’s architecture over the last fifty years, highlighting how design has shaped the nation’s identity in the years following independence.

The exhibition features a curated collection of concept notes, sketches, photographs, and architectural drawings, emphasizing the pivotal role played by CP Kukreja Architects in the country’s post-independence architectural renaissance. These visual displays offer a window into how architecture helped India navigate its post-colonial challenges, rebuilding its infrastructure and social fabric.
