Aditya Prakash ([ɑːd̪it̪jə pr̩ːkɑːɕ];10 March 1924, Muzaffarnagar – 12 August 2008 in Ratlam), was an architect, painter, academic and published author.

He belonged to the first generation of Indian Modernists closely associated with Chandigarh and the developmentalist practices of postcolonial India under Jawaharlal Nehru.

[3] The Chandigarh team was headed by Pierre Jeanneret, Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew, under Le Corbusier's overall leadership.

There was a steady atmosphere of research which allowed Prakash to make his own observations which were welcomed by Le Corbusier, even if they stood to potentially challenge him.

[6] Prakash explained: "Le Corbusier wanted to show a modern democratic India, and he succeeds by using equal elements to create a rippling, beautiful rhythm.

Conducted under the supervision of Pierre Jeanneret, this project transformed Prakash's design approach prompting him to rethinking architecture and urbanism as a "system".

The process of designing this building with Le Corbusier, especially the rhythm of the piers and the section, was a formative experience in Aditya Prakash's career.

[9] Prakash died on a train in Ratlam, India, on his way to perform in a play called Zindagi Retire Nahi Hoti.

His son, Vikramaditya Prakash is a notable architectural historian and a scholar at the University of Washington, Seattle.

[10] The Aditya Prakash Foundation is based in Chandigarh with a central focus on advancing the understanding of the heritage of Modern Architecture.

[2] This building was designed on strict functionalist lines focused on the interior spaces and their acoustic and visual order.

During this time he became very interested in architectural photography and acquired a Rolliflex TLR and an Argus C3 to photograph his buildings under construction.

[17] After retiring from CCA in 1982, Aditya Prakash opened his own private design practise under the name of Arcon Architects, which designed several projects in North India, including a housing complex for the Reserve Bank of India in Chandigarh, Milkfed Milkplants, Rohtak and several administrative buildings for the Agricultural University in Rohtak.
