India, the largest developing country in the world, is endowed with a rich cultural and architectural heritage. Copious works have been written on its ancient art and architecture but woefully few publications are available on its architecture after Independence. The vastness of the subject of architecture and the pace of development in the country need volumes of books to cover the entire scenario. Modern Architecture in India (1947-1993) is aimed at to have an overview of the architectural development in the country in the latter half of the 20th Century. It discusses about 100 projects designed by 14 foreign and 53 Indian architects. The projects illustrated in this book include capital cities, towns, townships, universities, hostels, group housing and educational, cultural, sports, religious, administrative, commercial and industrial buildings. Only completed projects are featured as their qualities can be judged easily and described accurately. The book includes drawings and photographs sufficient to understand the project. It is hoped the book will be of immense value to architects, planners, administrators, historians and general art lovers.
