    RASHTRAPATI BHAVAN and the Central Vista © Sondeep Shankar Delhi is not one city, but many. In the 3,000 years of its existence, the many deliberations, decided on two architects to design name ‘Delhi’ (or Dhillika, Dilli, Dehli,) has been applied to these many New Delhi. Edwin Landseer Lutyens, till then known mainly as an cities, all more or less adjoining each other in their physical boundary, architect of English country homes, was one. The other was Herbert some overlapping others. Invaders and newcomers to the throne, anxious Baker, the architect of the Union buildings at Pretoria. to leave imprints of their sovereign status, built citadels and settlements Lutyens’ vision was to plan a city on lines similar to other great here like Jahanpanah, Siri, Firozabad, Shahjahanabad … and, capitals of the world: Paris, Rome, and Washington DC. Broad, long eventually, New Delhi. In December 1911, the city hosted the Delhi avenues flanked by sprawling lawns, with impressive monuments Durbar (a grand assembly), to mark the coronation of King George V. punctuating the avenue, and the symbolic seat of power at the end— At the end of the Durbar on 12 December, 1911, King George made an this was what Lutyens aimed for, and he found the perfect geographical announcement that the capital of India was to be shifted from Calcutta location in the low Raisina Hill, west of Dinpanah (Purana Qila). to Delhi. There were many reasons behind this decision. Calcutta had Lutyens noticed that a straight line could connect Raisina Hill to become difficult to rule from, with the partition of Bengal and the Purana Qila (thus, symbolically, connecting the old with the new).

  • The Architecture of Democracy
    TIF - The Architecture of Democracy PREM CHANDAVARKAR September 4, 2020 Central Vista, New Delhi: The North and South blocks of Rashtrapati Bhavan lit for Republic Day | Namchop (CC BY-SA 3.0) The imperial Central Vista in Delhi has been transformed since 1947 into a symbol of democratic India. But the proposed redevelopment will reduce public space, highlight the spectacle of government and seems to reflect the authoritarian turn in our democracy. The Government of India is proposing a radical reshaping of the architecture and landscape of New Delhi’s Central Vista: a precinct that is the geographical heart of India’s democracy containing Parliament, ministerial offices, the residence and office of the President of India, major cultural institutions, and a public landscape that is beloved to the residents of Delhi and citizens of India. Its design originally came into being in 1913-14 as a British creation meant to mark imperial power in India through a new capital city in Delhi. After Independence, its buildings and spaces have been appropriated by Indians. How was the original design meant to serve as a public symbol of imperial power and governance? In the seven plus decades since Independence, how has it been appropriated by Indians such that during those decades it has Page 1 www.TheIndiaForum.in September 4, 2020 become an integral part of the independent nation’s history, leading to the precinct and its major edifices receiving the highest listing of Grade-1 from the Heritage Conservation Committee, Delhi? And what light does the currently planned redevelopment throw on the direction that contemporary India’s governance is taking, especially in reference to its equation with the general public? To understand these questions in their full depth, we must examine the history of how city form has visually reflected political ideals of governance.

  • Character, Identity and Symbolism Contemporary Interpretations of British Colonial Architecture
    Character, Identity and Symbolism Contemporary Interpretations of British Colonial Architecture Sagarika Chowdhury 1 and Sagar Gupta 2 1, 2 Sushant School of Art & Architecture, Ansal University, Gurgaon, India 1 sagarikachowdhury.barch15, 2 [email protected] Abstract: Architectural history and traditional culture of India has been overshadowed by rapid urban development in last few decades. In such a scenario, appreciation of architectural heritage in contemporary work is a sustainable building challenge faced by the architectural fraternity. Indian architecture of the 21st century witnesses numerous projects that claim to ‘interpret’ and ‘manifest’ traditional architectural styles, the inherited including Colonial, Greek and Roman, and the indigenous such as the Rajputana. However, a closer look at most modern ‘imitative’ works highlights that only a handful of parameters have been given due importance in this appreciation, while numerous other significant parameters face complete neglect. The research questions our methods of interpreting the traditional built environment and processes of inheriting from our legacies, with a wider intent to prevent further dilution of the architectural style they refer to. Design values, principles and elements in colonial architecture by Lutyens have been identified, and compiled for reference of modern Indian architects, so as to avoid notable gaps in the process of translation. Keywords: Architectural Symbolism; Colonial Architecture; Traditional Built Environment. 1. Introduction Modern interpretation of sustainability is based on three pillars: Environmental, Economic and Social. Environmentalists advocate the environment and capitalists advocate the economy; however, the social pillar fails to find considerable support for its recognition. Social aspects like heritage, culture, lifestyle etc. still remain unaddressed in discussions on sustainable development.

  • Signature of Louis Kahn and Other Foreign Architects on Indian Cities
    Signature of Louis Kahn and other foreign architects on Indian Cities December 31, 2020 In news Recently, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad decided to bring down some dormitories built by legendary American architect Louis Kahn on the old campus, and replace them with a new building. Contributions of foreign architects with respect to Indian cities In the above context, let us see the signs of foreign architects on Indian Cities Louis Kahn Louis Isadore Kahn was an American architect, based in Philadelphia. After working in various capacities for several firms in Philadelphia, he founded his own atelier in 1935. The American architect’s only project in India faces bulldozers now. In 1962, the IIMA board came to a formal agreement with the National Institute of Design (NID) for the latter to undertake the task of designing the IIM Ahmedabad campus. The National Institute of Design appointed American architect Louis Kahn and B.V. Doshi as architects for the project. Kahn worked on the IIMA project from 1962 until his death in 1974. Kahn’s architecture is characterized by the use of exposed red bricks, the extensive use of geometric shapes in hostels and academic blocks and vast corridors outside the classrooms. He combined Indian traditional and vernacular architecture and modern architecture skillfully. A number of tourists and architecture students often visit the campus for its phenomenal architectural impact The design for IIM Ahmedabad (1962-1974) carried the essence of learning in the humility of its material, and the way spaces were managed placing the dormitories, the library and classrooms at the same level, or the faculty residences across a waterbody.
