Bakerji passes away

Laurie Baker, a great architect and a greater humanitarian passed away.

I always looked up at him with awe. The endless energy, persistence, almost dogmatic conviction in his ideology.

A lot of my friends are very close associates of Bakerji. I join them in reminiscing the great stories and immense legacy that he has given to us. Kerala is a better place for being his home.
