This page, top: Mohammed
Fayazuddin was known for
preparing large-format
drawings — on an average
size of 4’ x 8’ sheets of
imported paper. For the
exhibition Hyderabad
Biophilia, his Masterplan
from 1944 was recreated
as a large-format mural,
painted in-situ by
Hyderabad-based

architecture students.
