In 1955-61 he moved to London and attended the architectural association school of architecture for one year. He took his complete formal professional training at Brixton school of building London. He worked as an architectural assistant in various practices in London and as a theater scenery designer in the evenings. He than became an associate of the royal institute of British architects, London.
His works are read as products of the finest traditions of self-reflexive (European) modernism rooted in the local architectural culture. Influences that were important to his development as an architect on his return to India were
1. Seeing the work of Architect Le Corbusier.
2. Teaching history at the school of planning and architecture, New Delhi.
His ability to retain the conceptual purity of his foundation ideals has been his strength and in some other ways his limitations. His architectural ideology is shaped by:
1. His interest in structural systems. It has defined the nature of several of his significant projects.
2. As a set designer he learnt the value of employing minimalist props to convey a larger meaning.
3. In ecochards office he absorbed the principles of urban design and planning.
