Abstract: “Architecture in India since 1990” explores the evolution of India’s architectural scene following economic liberalization and the impact of globalization. It highlights four distinct architectural genres that reflect the country’s complex socio-economic and political landscape, characterized by hybridity, pluralism, and fusion. Featuring the work of over 60 contemporary architects, the book offers a compelling narrative supported by more than 500 photographs of key projects. It is a valuable resource for academics, architects, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of architecture and contemporary India’s diverse identity.
