The Architecture of India
No full textBook review of "India: Modern Architecture in History" and author interview with Peter Scriver and Amit Srivastav
Peter Scriver and Amit Srivastava, India
No full textIndia, Modern Architectures in History by Peter Scriver and Amit Srivastava is a deceptively small publication, but its petite frame belies the range and depth of coverage. The task of writing a history for such a vast geographical territory multiplied across a 150-year time frame represents a huge undertaking, one that the authors have spent over three decades bringing to fruition.

No full textThis is my (Subhasis Chattopadhyay's) draft of PhD pre-submission. Dr. Scriver has (had) put it up online in her blog and I found it today, that is 1:06 pm, 28th May, 2017. I am grateful to her since intellectual ideas can otherwise be hijacked. She has done a wonderful editorial job. I want to make it clear that the author of the blog post is Dr. Scriver and not I. But in the Add Contributor here I cannot insert her name as the author so I have out her as an editor which is incorrect. Her blog-post though is in the public domain.

Religion as Conceptual Scaffolding for Architecture
No full textReligion and Architecture have a long and intimately intertwined relationship in virtually all cultural histories. Through a wide-ranging discussion centring on India and its global diaspora, this chapter considers some of the many ways in which religion continues to be invested in architecture in the world today, and vice versa, broadening and deepening understanding of how religion is literally ‘placed’ in contemporary life. Architecture, we conclude, sustains at least a part of the project that religion pursued more dominantly and directly, with the aid of architecture, in other times; it constructs and articulates space, both physical and social, as a medium in which individuals and collectives may engage and cohere, and through which the self and its relationship to greater wholes or entities may be defined and realised.Amit Srivastava, Peter Scriver and Joshua Nas
