"The primary era of this study-the twentieth century-symbolizes the peak of the colonial rule and its total decline, as well as the rise of the new nation state of India. The processes that have been labeled 'westernization' and 'modernization' radically changed middle-class Indian life during the century.
This book describes and explains the various technological, political and social developments that shaped one building type-the bungalow-contemporaneous to the development of modern Indian history during the period of British rule and its subsequent aftermath. Drawing on their own physical and photographic documentation, and building on previous work by Anthony King and the Desais, the authors show the evolution of the bungalow's architecture from a one storey building with a verandah to the assortment of house-forms and their regional variants that are derived from the bungalow. Moreover, the study correlates changes in society with architectural consequences in the plans and aesthetics of the bungalow. It also examines more generally what it meant to be modern in Indian society as the twentieth century evolved."
(This book is based on a collaborative research study supported by a Getty Foundation Grant 2006-2009. It builds on a prior study, Architecture and Independence: the Search for Identity 1880 to 1980 (Oxford University Press, 1997) by the three authors and book, Modern Architecture in India (Permanent Black, 2003) by Jon Lang).
