ABOUT THE TALK
Artist/Architect Vishal K. Dar’s site-specific projects create iridescent overlays upon diverse kinds of public spaces that are often abandoned and disused sites, and sometimes well-known landmarks.
Mohit Gujral, son of the celebrated artist Satish Gujral, has had a distinguished career in architecture and design over the past three decades. A graduate in Architecture from CEPT University, he co-founded Gujral Design Plus with his father, where Satish Gujral served as Principal Designer and Mohit as Associate Architect. In addition to his architectural practice, Mohit held pivotal leadership roles as CEO and board member of DLF. Today, he is an investor and mentor for real estate, architecture, and design ventures, while also championing philanthropic initiatives through The Gujral Foundation.
Vishal K Dar’s research explores the multifaceted world of Satish Gujral’s architectural, sculptural, and mural-making practices, uncovering how these diverse mediums intersect to create a remarkable landscape of sculpted materiality.
Mohit Gujral, an architect who established a practice in association with his father, Satish Gujral, will be in conversation with Vishal K Dar to share personal anecdotes and insights about his experience of working with Satish Gujral, both as a father, artist, and colleague.
These conversations offer a rare glimpse into Satish Gujral’s approach to architecture, revealing his overriding principle that architecture is living sculpture. This promises to be an exciting dialogue on the multidisciplinary practice of art, architecture, and design.
