Urbanization Seminar Series: Rahul Mehrotra, "The Future of South Asia: A Landscape of Pluralism"

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



Discussion with Rahul Mehrotra, MAUD '87, Chair of the Department of Urban Planning and Design, and Hitesh Hathi, AM '97, GSA '88, producer for Here & Now. In conjunction with Prof. Mehrotra's upcoming book release. ARCHITECTURE IN INDIA SINCE 1990 charts the complexity of India's contemporary architectural scene over a crucial period marked by economic liberalisation and the contradictions, glamour and displacement wrought by globalisation. In twenty-first-century India, hybridity, pluralism and fusion reign over singular identities, the resultant architecture mirroring the socio-economic and political fabric of one of the world's largest and most populous nation states.

Comments

  1. I could listen to this genius discuss architecture all day (and I almost have). There are few people blessed with such a gift of eloquence on this subject. Dhanyavad, Mr. Mehrotra.
