Mr Baker used to regularly come to the NID, The students used to look forward to his talks since he was such an apporachable and humble man in spite of his achievements. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://lauriebaker.net" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Laurie Baker">Lauriebaker.net</A><BR/><BR/>Thanks for this!

It is shameful that even the media does not acknowledges the work of people like Bakerji and instead<BR/>focuses on meaningless gossips and sensationalsim.<BR/><BR/>His work has always inspired me but after reading more about his values and principles on life and his concern for the people I have a new found respect and appreciation of his work. <BR/><BR/>Here is one who did and not just talked a lot of gas like our political leaders and bureaucrats!<BR/><BR/>Some sites about Bakerji:<BR/><BR/>www.lauriebaker.net<BR/>Bakerji's website (according to Wikipedia)<BR/><BR/>Has a ton of information on Bakerji. A must visit resource for anyone interested in the legendary architect.<BR/><BR/>A nice article:<BR/> http://lauriebaker.net/www.epw.org.in/epw/uploads/articles/10568.pdf<BR/><BR/>Another good one I havent seen before:<BR/>http://www.livemint.com/2007/04/05001145/A-home-of-his-own.html<BR/><BR/>Venu<BR/>venugopal-nair@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
