Vasant Kamath passes away: ‘He gave mud buildings a brand value’
His practice with architect-wife Revathi — Kamath Design Studio in Delhi — grew world renowned for their use of locally available materials and sensitivity to crafts and local skills.
Everybody knew Vasant Kamath to be the gentleman architect, soft spoken and calm, and his designs embodied that care he gave to detailing his buildings. With nearly half a century of architectural practice and over three decades of teaching architecture at the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), Delhi, Vasant gave the profession the quiet confidence that those who dared, could stick it out and make a difference. He passed away in Delhi on September 3, after a long battle with cancer. He was 73.
