Book Description

Publication Date: April 9, 1997

Through a return to traditional methods, many Indian designers and architects are rediscovering the qualities that make the "look" of India: the materials; the techniques; and the colour. This text shows the modern design and architecture going on in the sub-continent and examines the background to the work in India's history and cultural environment. A team of photographers has travelled all over India to capture and present the look, both ancient and modern, of design and architecture, including the masterpieces of the Moghuls and the decoration of the past with the best houses and interiors. India has constantly provided inspiration for designers in the West, through the textiles, the ceramics and the intensity of colour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Pictures, July 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Indiamodern: Traditional Forms and Contemporary Design (Paperback)

Amazing pictures of contemporary India. It represents truly what India is...a unique mixture of the modern intersped with the traditional. The architecture represented within is the best of a vernacular response to westernization.

Suggested is reading on each of the topics touched topically.
Also suggested is getting the "smaller" version of the book...; with cuter images and the classic pocketbook appearence. This one is just a bigger copy of the other.

Personally these are the best images of India I can come across and all my office collegues are amazed by them.
