India is a lively and diverse country, and like China, in recent years it has developed into one of the largest industrialised nations in the world. This process is also reflected in its architecture. Recent developments betray a new consciousness and the search for a new form of Indian identity. International influences are merging with traditional styles to create a unique new architectural language, which also bears the stamp of Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, who worked there. The book depicts the rise of modern architecture in India since independence in 1947 and the important tendencies of contemporary Indian architecture in thematic chapters. In addition to the new younger generation of Indian architects, it also considers the first post-independence generation, including Balkrishna Doshi and Charles Correa. Examples from the built environment are plentiful, including government buildings, hotels and housing from various parts of this huge, intoxicating nation.
