An award-winning Indian journalist Apurva Bose Dutta has released her first  book, bringing together 17 celebrated architects of India. Titled "Architectural Voices of India: A Blend of Contemporary and Traditional Ethos", was published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing and it is offering a 50% discount for the book (£64.99) in only September, as part of its exclusive marketing campaign.

The 265-page book brings out the voices of 17 celebrated architects from India across generations, conversing through dialogues about the core issues and perspectives around architecture. Through these voices, this recently-released book brings to the forefront exceptional and inspirational journeys and ideologies of architects, the evolution of architecture and the new role that architects should play in the society and the global state of the profession, and in India particularly.

"The book talks about architecture being an integral part of building a nation and has takeaways for all genres of readers including those from the architecture and building industry, the students’ community, and the common man," said Apurva Bose Dutta, award-winning architectural journalist.
