In this ground-breaking study the traditional Indian science of architecture and house-building,Vastu Vidya, is explored in terms of its secular uses, at the levels of both theory and contemporary practice. Vastu Vidya is treated as constituting a coherent and complete architectural programme, still of great relevance today. Chakrabarti draws on an impressive amount of textual material, much of it only available in Sanskrit, and presents several extremely valuable illustrations in support of the theories expounded. Each chapter deals with one architectural aspect, and chapters are divided into three sections. For each aspect, the first section explains the prescriptions of the traditional texts; the second section deals with the rather arbitrary use of that aspect by contemporary Indian architects trained in the western manner but striving to relate to Indian roots; while the last section in each chapter explores the selected use of that particular aspect by contemporary Vastu pundits, with their disregard for architectural idiom.

The book is about vastuvidya or architectural theory, the creation of temples, and the role of drawings as an indispensible bridge between the two. It focuses on two worlds attributed to Bhoja, the legendary Paramara rule of Malwa in the first half of the eleventh century. The first of these is his vastly ambitious, but unfinished, royal temple at Bhojpur with its unique set of architectural drawings engraved in the surrounding rocks. These beautiful drawings, documented here for the first time, provide insights into construction processes and glimpses of hitherto unknown temple forms. They also hold the key to the intended design of the Bhojpur temple itself, which would have been by far the biggest Hindu temple in the world.

As the first inclusive study of how women have shaped the modern Indian built environment from the independence struggle until today, this book reveals a history that is largely unknown, not only in the West, but also in India. Educated in the 1930s and 1940s, the very first women architects designed everything from factories to museums in the post-independence period. The generations that followed are now responsible for metro systems, shopping malls, corporate headquarters, and IT campuses for a global India. But they also design schools, cultural centers, religious pilgrimage hotels, and wildlife sanctuaries. Pioneers in conserving historic buildings, these women also sustain and resurrect traditional crafts and materials, empower rural and marginalized communities, and create ecologically sustainable architectures for India. Today, although women make up a majority in India’s ever-increasing schools of architecture, it is still not easy for them, like their Western sisters, to find their place in the profession. Recounting the work and lives of Indian women as not only architects, but also builders and clients, opens a new window onto the complexities of feminism, modernism, and design practice in India and beyond. Set in the design centers of Mumbai and Delhi, this book is also one of the first histories of architectural education and practice in two very different cities that are now global centers. The diversity of practices represented here helps us to imagine other ways to create and build apart from "starchitecture." And how these women negotiate tradition and modernity at work and at home is crucial for understanding gender and modern architecture in a more global and less Eurocentric context. In a country where female emancipation was important for narratives of the independence movement and the new nation-state, feminism was, nonetheless, eschewed as divisive and damaging to the nationalist cause. Class, caste, tradition, and family restricted—but also created—opportunities for the very first women architects in India, just as they do now for the growing number of young women professionals today.

This path-breaking book addresses several issues for the very first time and reveals many findings about Indian architecture in details never researched or published before. This project is the culmination of the author’s entire lifetime’s work. The Strength of the paradigm he proposed lies in the fact that it makes the reader sit up and take notice of the glaring defects in the thinking, planning and implementation to how we build and utilize space for living, working, and sharing our environment with our co-habitats. He then provides solutions for an organic and symbiotic way of development that can be scaled up right from a single dwelling to as large as a whole township. The author is non-dogmatic and non-religious in his approach and proposes radical yet simple solutions with scientific explanations and rationale behind his methods. He is quick to point out that this is a book written in the modern context and even the word spirit used in the title has not been used in any spiritual sense, but refers to the essence, the core. He has been an experimenter and a truth-seeker all his life and here he shares the result of his findings with the reader who can benefit at every level. The target readership of this book would be anyone from a student of architecture to an accomplished architect, urban planners, educationists and policy makers, and indeed anyone who is interested in improving the quality of life. In its finality, the book, a textbook, as the author likes to call it, is not only a unique work on architecture but on the art of living itself. Darshan Kumar Bubbar was born in 1937 in Quetta, Balochistan. Since an early age, he showed an incredible talent in his drawings, which eventually led him to join the field of architecture. Before commencing his formal education at the Academy of Architecture, Mumbai, he worked with eminent architects in Delhi for years. Which served as a rigorous training ground for him. He started his own practice in 1965 under the name and style of The Angles Architects, and today the firm continues to furnish complete services in the field of design and execution of building, planning and interior projects. His work has ranged from designing houses, bungalows and housing complexes to educational campuses, hospitals, offices, residential and institutional buildings and even interiors with furniture design. In the early sixties, he began to study Indian architecture. The mud houses in villages, the palaces of Rajasthan and The Mud houses in villages, the palaces of Rajasthan and the Taj Mahal cast a deep impression on him. He was in search of design principles ha the ancients followed in their work. In an attempt to reach the quintessential truth, that separated traditional architecture from modern architecture, he began his quest and studied the Manasara and scriptures. He used his findings in the contemporary context on his projects with almost complete success. Through three decades, D K Bubbar has been an untiring student for the age-old principles of Indian architecture. His thoughts and works have been published in several periodicals and newspapers. He has taught at the Academy of Architecture, Mumbai, conducted workshops at the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, Sir JJ School of architecture, Mumbai and many other colleges. He has lectured at the University of New South Wales in Sydney and National University of Singapore. Interviews with him have been telecast on several television channels.

"Offers an intense scholarly experience in its comprehensiveness, its variety of voices and its formal organization... the editors took a risk, experimented and have delivered a much-needed resource that upends the status-quo." - Architectural Histories, journal of the European Architectural History Network "Architectural theory interweaves interdisciplinary understandings with different practices, intentions and ways of knowing. This handbook provides a lucid and comprehensive introduction to this challenging and shifting terrain, and will be of great interest to students, academics and practitioners alike." - Professor Iain Borden, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture "In this collection, architectural theory expands outward to interact with adjacent discourses such as sustainability, conservation, spatial practices, virtual technologies, and more. We have in The Handbook of Architectural Theory an example of the extreme generosity of architectural theory. It is a volume that designers and scholars of many stripes will welcome." - K. Michael Hays, Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory, Harvard University The SAGE Handbook of Architectural Theory documents and builds upon the most innovative developments in architectural theory over the last two decades. Bringing into dialogue a range of geographically, institutionally and historically competing positions, it examines and explores parallel debates in related fields. The book is divided into eight sections: Power/Difference/Embodiment Aesthetics/Pleasure/Excess Nation/World/Spectacle History/Memory/Tradition Design/Production/Practice Science/Technology/Virtuality Nature/Ecology/Sustainability City/Metropolis/Territory. Creating openings for future lines of inquiry and establishing the basis for new directions for education, research and practice, the book is organized around specific case studies to provide a critical, interpretive and speculative enquiry into the relevant debates in architectural theory.
