Daily News | Ashok Davar, architect, author, illustrator, and teacher, has died at 77

The Wheel of King Asoka

His freehand illustrations, such as “the parade of playful elephants,” were simple yet detailed and interesting, using angles, shapes, texture, and whimsey as main components. He became a U.S. citizen in Philadelphia and taught popular college-level classes in creativity in Allentown at Cedar Crest College and the Baum School of Art.

Born July 27, 1944, in India, Mr. Davar earned a bachelor’s degree from the Sir J.J. School of Arts in Mumbai. William Weir, a longtime local Rotarian, helped him navigate his fellowship in the early 1960s, and he lived at International House, a residential center for international students in Philadelphia that he supported throughout his life.

VIDEO: Texas officials release 77 minutes of footage from inside Uvalde school during shootingNearly two months after the state’s deadliest school shooting, footage from inside Robb Elementary in Uvalde was released on Sunday to families and the public. So many lives could've been saved! Ballistic Shields & body armor, Seriously? They were well equipped to take down one shooter. Unbelievable. Video says it ALL. Sweet souls & innocent lives were being taken while they just stood there! It's heartbreaking 😡 I’ve never been in that situation, but I would like to think that I would risk my life for children. Not a system problem. A ppl problem. They were scared. It’s simple, fire all of them. Defund the police in that area for retraining. Start a new hiring process and change standards

Uvalde video shows officers entered classroom 77 minutes after shootingTexas lawmakers on Sunday released video showing law enforcement’s delayed response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., that led to the deaths of 19 students and two teachers. One parent with a gun would’ve solved that problem. Leaving the job to feckless cops cost those children their lives. I still can’t figure out why that cop was getting hand soap, it’s not like he had any intentions of getting his hands dirty.
