Download or read book India written by Peter Scriver and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A place of astonishing contrasts, India is home to some of the world’s most ancient architectures as well as some of its most modern. It was the focus of some of the most important works created by Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, among other lesser-known masters, and it is regarded by many as one of the key sites of mid-twentieth century architectural design. As Peter Scriver and Amit Srivastava show in this book, however, India’s history of modern architecture began long before the nation’s independence as a modern state in 1947. Going back to the nineteenth century, Scriver and Srivastava look at the beginnings of modernism in colonial India and the ways that public works and patronage fostered new design practices that directly challenged the social order and values invested in the building traditions of the past. They then trace how India’s architecture embodies the dramatic shifts in Indian society and culture during the last century. Making sense of a broad range of sources, from private papers and photographic collections to the extensive records of the Indian Public Works Department, they provide the most rounded account of modern architecture in India that has yet been available.

Book Synopsis Essays in Early Indian Architecture by : Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy
Download or read book Essays in Early Indian Architecture written by Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coomaraswamy's contribution to the history of Architecture in India was limited but profound. In particular, his probing analysis of texts and sculpted reliefs in order to reconstruct the extraordinary wooden architecture of early India was an act of great scholarship. That three ofCoomaraswamy's essays were published in a journal, Eastern Art, that ceased publication after only three issues, and that an important fourth essay on 'Huts and Related Temple Types' survived only in manuscript have made access to Coomaraswamy's work in this area difficult to students and scholars.This volume for the first time brings together these four major essays along with Coomaraswamy's analysis of 'Indian Architectural Terms'. An introductory essay by Michael W Meister on 'The Language and Process of Early Indian Architecture' connects Coomaraswamy's foundational essays with morerecent scholarship on the origination of India's vast tradition of temple architecture. An Afterword, with Joseph Rykwert on 'Adam's House and Hermit Huts' presents a conversation with a major western architectural historian.
Book Synopsis Eloquent Spaces by : Shonaleeka Kaul
Download or read book Eloquent Spaces written by Shonaleeka Kaul and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eloquent Spaces adopts the twin analytic of meaning and community to write a fresh history of building in early India. It presents a new perspective on the principles and practices of early Indian architecture. Defining it broadly over a range of space uses, the book argues for architecture as a form of cultural production as well as public consumption. Ten chapters by leading archaeologists, architects, historians and philosophers, examining different architectural sites and landscapes, including Sanchi, Moodabidri, Srinagar, Chidambaram, Patan, Konark, Basgo and Puri, demonstrate the need to look beyond the built form to its spirit, beyond aesthetics to cognition, and thereby to integrating architecture with its myriad living contexts. The volume captures some of the semantic diversity inherent in premodern Indian traditions of civic building, both sacred and secular, which were, however, unified in their insistence on enacting meaning and a transcendent validity over and above utility and beauty of form. The book is a quest for a culturally rooted architecture as an alternative to the growing crisis of disembededness that informs modern praxis. This volume will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of architecture, ancient Indian history, philosophy, art history and cultural studies.
