Smart Cities Ep 4: Architect Hafeez Contractor questions government's 'useless' laws!

In this freewheeling chat with Spin TV, Architect Hafeez Contractor spoke passionately about his zeal and agony when it comes to the existing redundant laws in the Indian political system, why instead of foreign architects, foreign politicians would be better, why Mumbai's chances are bleak if we don't stand up now, slums plaguing our cities, why budget housing is the need of the hour and why Mumbai needs the coastal road to save itself and lots lots more!

He has singlehandly ruined the skylike of mumbai with his mickeymouse designs.grow up.architecture is a serious business.

[@sadenb]

He is an architect that killed the traditional Indian architecture. Why can't he revive Mauryan architecture with modern architecture ? Why does his concept of Classical architecture goes back to Greeco-Roman.. Unless Indians decide to revive it's own culture, it's own legacy , it will always be a second grade country . Instead of Greek revival pillars , he can use mauryan and gupta pillars. What is wrong with India ? Why copy everything . !!! Classical means Indian classical and not western classical.If you want to see western architecture some to Paris or New York .. Know your legacy or remain ordinary

Such a negative being. An Architect shall never be a pessimist.

[@carrotdough2426]

He's a fool. Lacks sensibility towards design and like most architects, thinks he is a genius. It is because of him and other such architects, Mumbai has become unaffordable. Think about it if you're a true mumbaikar
