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.

I appreciate and thank you for your efforts for scrutinising Metro. I feel the existing bus and local systems have never been tested to their full potential by maintaining good frequency, hygiene and low smoke emissions. Correcting this domain first, will give a crystal clear idea of whether we need a Metro at all.. And speaking of killing the demon 'Ravan' at one go instead of hitting each of his heads is that- Decentralise development, create jobs outside Pune- Bombay and prevent painful migrations in the first place. A vision beyond FSI and tender costs will go a long way:-)
