He has more than three-and-a-half decades of practical experience in designing of various types of buildings, complexes and large campuses.

Humane Architecture
Humane Architecture is concerned with the lived experience of form; a sympathetic architecture which guides people through life in a more comfortable and less inhibited way. It does not use form and materiality merely for effect, but manipulates them such that their inherent qualities become an emotional feature of the design and provoke a stimulating and rewarding relationship between buildings and people. This book is an monologue on the architecture and design of the Vidya Sagar Institute of Mental Health, Amritsar, Punjab, India, done by Architect Sarbjit Singh Bahga. This book describes the challenges in designing a mental hospital and the experiences of the Architect. The design considerations of each wing of the hospital are described along with the architectural drawings and photographs.
Rock Garden in Chandigarh
ROCK GARDEN IN CHANDIGARH - A Critical Evaluation of the Work of Nek Chand is original research thesis for which its author SS Bhatti was conferred the degree of Master of Architecture [M. Arch.] in 1983 by The University of Queensland, Australia. As one of the three examiners had succinctly observed "The book is valuable one which records and analyses the work of a great, courageous and enormously energetic artist. Mr Bhatti has recorded his painstaking examination of Nek Chand's creation, the Rock Garden in Chandigarh." It is a definitive treatise on what is now called "Outsider Art," so much so that articles based on it and published internationally by the distinguished scholar eventually...
Spaces Inspired by Nature
The contemporary Indian architect Shirish Beri has built works ranging from private residences to educational complexes and large public projects across India. What is most interesting about this book is its structure. Interspersed with the projects are Beri s written and sketched expressions. The book features about a dozen projects in greater detail, well illustrated with clear drawings, evocative sketches and excellent photographs accompanied by the architect s own analysis of the design process and governing concerns in each project. Accompanying the book is a CD titled -The Unfolding White: Shirish Beri s search for wholeness-."
Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret
Contemporary architecture not only in India but also around the world is indebted to Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, the Swiss-French architects. Le Corbusier has left an indelible mark on the architecture and intellectual landscape of the twentieth century. This book is a pioneering attempt to cover the entire Indian works of these two architects. Besides Chandigarh, it covers Le Corbusier's works at Ahmedabad and also Bhakra Dam at Nangal. It also discusses Pierre Jeanneret's lesser-known projects like Talwara in Punjab; Sundernagar, Pandoh and Slapper townships in Himachal Pradeshl and the Medical College at Rohtak in Haryana. It analyzes even those projects which never saw the light o...

ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING: HAND-DRAWN PERSPECTIVES & SKETCHES is a unique book in the form of a compendium of 412 hand-drawn perspectives, sketches, isometrics, axonometrics, paintings and posters collected personally from 27 renowned architects and artists.

Contemporary Indian Houses
Contemporary Indian Houses discusses fifty-one architect-designed built-up houses selected from different parts of India. They display the diversity of needs, tastes and building materials in the context of different weather conditions and social trends. Different architectural appearances or external expressions have determined the classification of the houses into five sections. This grouping keeps the reader’s growing interest in the external aspect of a residential structure. The emphasis is on the built-form rather than on the interior and its decor. Each house is accompanied by an explanatory text and supplemented by appropriate drawings and photographs to present a comprehensive pic...
