[Summary Plus Entry] Written by French scholar and geographer Vincent Grimaud, this 190-page architectural study explores the spatial layout and social habits inside modern Indian domestic housing (L'Habitat Indien Moderne). The book evaluates how contemporary residential apartments and urban homes across India balance Western architectural formats with deeply ingrained, traditional family practices. It deep-dives into specific socio-spatial habits, examining how areas within the home—such as the kitchen, the prayer space (puja room), and common gathering spots—are modified, utilized, and negotiated by families to preserve regional customs within high-density, modern urban apartments.
