This documentary captures the lives of prominent architects, the Kanade brothers, who brought in their own styles to the houses of Bengaluru.
The city’s housing structure has an interesting mix of old Chettinad architecture, British architecture and quintessential local styles. But as modern architecture seeped into the city, there came a pattern of houses built with granite stones. The main men behind the idea are Shankar Kanade and Navnath Kanade. Teepoi Production’s latest documentary Kanade, is based on these architect brothers.
The Kanade brothers are the brains behind the architecture of some iconic landmarks like Jal Bhawan, Jal Vayu Vihar to name a few. Content and research director Karishma Rao says she had always heard of the Kanade architects. “Many of the mentors from the industry also guided us in the project. They told us to capture the Kanade wisdom in some way or the other because they were very instrumental in the buildings of the ’80s and ’90s,” says Rao, who, along with his team met Navnath Kanade for the first time at the Wadiyar Centre of Architecture, Mysuru in 2016.
