In this book, we trace the influences of documentation, decoration and design on architectural pedagogy and architectural practices in India in the late 19th and early 20th century at the Sir JJ School of Art, Bombay. In these pages are the many original drawings made by the students of the school, prints from the portfolios of Jacob Batley and Fletcher and glass ‘magic lantern’ slides that explore this interaction. As a testimony to the diverse strands of aesthetic understanding and practice, we present drawings a representative made by noted portfolio of modernist architect Achyut Kanvinde during his years as a student of the Sir JJ School of Art, which, placed between the dichotomy of tradition and modernism, provides a glimpse into design churnings prevalent at the cups Indian independence.
