Celebrating the buildings that weren't,
and ideas that continue to be.
india: unbuilt architecture, Vol 1.0 (2019)
The book features 54 inspiring yet unbuilt architecture ideas by Indian architects, and nine intriguing essays on the theme contributed by professionals and academicians. The first ever book to celebrate the value of unbuilt Indian architecture.
What are our readers saying.
It’s a beautiful book. Congratulations! I enjoyed the articles and the projects are very well curated. It’s not often that thought provoking and well put together books on design are published.
india: unbuilt architecture is a wonderful venture in the first place. The format of the book is really well done. The quality of layouts hats off.
The quality of printing very well done.
All those who contributed in writing excellent and well edited.
The projects would have been many that landed on your table but you have chosen well. And the range of projects also very well selected. Across typologies and economy. Brilliant effort. Much wanted.
I was very pleased to receive the book - unbuilt India - which sadly has some excellent projects that will never be realised - Nalanda being prominent among them. Though it's sad to see so much apparently wasted effort, I do believe that the ideas formulated in such schemes find their way into future schemes. That said, it is a fascinating survey of what might have been.
