From the Publisher:
From the massive war memorial arch and resplendent sandstone and marble government house to the spacious gardens and the gloriously imposing Viceroy's House, the evidence of Lutyen’s architectural genius is everywhere throughout New Delhi. As architectural historian Andreas Volwahsen discusses the importance of Lutyen’s work he provides a fascinating account of the making of a city: the contentious debates and cultural considerations, the inspiration and the painstaking construction, and finally the ways in which New Delhi has evolved into a modern city. With the growing interest in the preservation of historic sights worldwide, this magnificently detailed yet highly accessible history is certain to become a classic in the fields of architecture and urban design.
About the Author:
Andreas Volwahsen holds a Ph.D. in architecture and heads an international consulting firm. His fascination with the Indian subcontinent goes back thirty years and is the subject of the author’s previous book, Cosmic Architecture in India: the Astronomical Monuments of Maharaja Jai Singh II (Prestel). He lives near Munich, Germany.
