    AP KANVINDE
    Achyut Purushottam Kanvinde (9 February 1916 – 28 December
    2002) was an Indian architect who worked in functionalist
    approaches with elements of Brutalist architecture. He received the
    Padma Shri in 1974.

    Early life and education


    He was born in a large family on 9 February 1916 in Achra, in the
    Konkan region of Maharashtra. His mother died when he was two and
    his father was an arts teacher in Mumbai. Kanvinde, influenced by his
    father, a portrait and landscape painter, took up art and graduated in
    architecture from Sir J.J. School of Arts, Mumbai in 1942.

    He was then sent by the Government of India to study at Harvard


    where he worked under Walter Gropius and was influenced by his
    thinking and teaching. The European masters of the Bauhaus – Albert
    Bayer, László Moholy-Nagy, Marcel Breuer, and the Swiss-
    American architectural historian Siegfried Giedion also had a great
    impact. Some of his famous batchmates were Paul Rudolph, I. M. Pei
    and John Perkins
