Recenzii
'Though a great deal of lucid writing exists on monumental Indian architecture, few architects today have given scholastic space to domestic buildings. The book is both an amalgamation of the many forms of the Indian house, as well as a distillation of that strange hybrid called the bungalow. Rigorous research expected of the impeccable credentials of the authors, places the once dormant subject squarely on the literary table. A scholarly work, immensely readable.' Gautam Bhatia, Architect, India 'This rich documentation and interpretation of the Bungalow in India propels our understanding of its contemporary and mutated manifestations and establishes its deep influence on our thinking about cities in South Asia - the book is a great handbook for practitioners in India.' Rahul Mehrotra, Harvard University, USA
Descriere
Focusing on the twentieth century, this book correlates the evolution of the bungalow in India from a one storey building with a verandah to a variety of villa-types with the development of modern Indian history. In doing so, it not only explains the various technological, political and social developments that shaped the bungalow, but it examines more generally what it meant to be modern in Indian society as the twentieth century evolved.
