Description
This detailed architectural reference examines the diverse styles and construction methods of modern Indian buildings across eleven significant cities: Delhi, Agra, Allahabad, Lucknow, Ajmer, Bhopal, Bikaner, Gwalior, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur. Sanderson Gordon provides an in-depth analysis of contemporary architectural developments during India’s modern period, documenting building designs, structural innovations, and aesthetic choices that shaped urban landscapes.
The work is particularly valuable for its attention to the craftsmen and artisans involved in both the design and execution of these structures. Gordon explores the technical expertise, traditional skills, and creative contributions of the builders and decorators who brought these architectural visions to life. The book serves as an important historical record of India’s architectural heritage and the skilled labor force that sustained it.
Essential for architects, historians, and those interested in Indian cultural heritage and construction practices.
