Ar B.V Doshi, the Doyen of Indian Architecture on Pune Metro

Doyen of Indian Architecture , Ar B V Doshi visited PVP College of Architecture on 12th June 2010. Apart from aprreciating the effort taken by the Student's on Metro Project, Ar Doshi discussed the project at lenghts with the Students & Staff. Discouraging the way in which DMRC has laid metro on Jungli Maharaj road, Ar Doshi gave an idea of routing the Metro corridor along already existing River spine on Pune, which can also be integrated with the open spaces proposed along river front. The'River Metro' shall not interfere with the existing urban fabric of Pune & also give a very'Scenic View' along the route, he remarked. Now it is upon our able admistrators, the PMC & State Govt of Maharashtra to take such valuable advice coming from the Greatest Architect of India, in the right spirit or to go their own way & destroy the City of Pune.

'Nod for Metro' from PMC- Is there an action plan ?

The question is ' Is there a blueprint or an action plan ready with the authorities to go forward with such a 'Huge' Project! Or is there one 'Big Confusion' ?
