About this title

Synopsis

In lucid language that speaks to laymen and architects alike, Jon Lang provides a history of 20th century architecture in India. He analyses its tangled developments from the founding of the Indian Institute of Architects during the 1920s to the present diversity of architectural directions. Lang examines the early influences on Indian architecture both of movements like the Bauhaus as well as prominent individuals. Over 150 photographs and line drawings explain and illustrate concepts outlined in the text.
