Summay
from Oxford,Summary Plus Entry] From Oxford (Facsimile Archive Reprint). Published "in view of the Round Table Conference, the January number of the Architectural Review is entirely devoted to a study of the new capital of India written by Mr. Robert Byron". This extraordinary historic folio is an official facsimile reprint by Asian Educational Services (AES) of the legendary January 1931 special issue of London's Architectural Review. Authored entirely by prominent travel writer and art critic Robert Byron right before New Delhi's official inauguration in February 1931, the volume stands as one of the most critical real-time historical documentations of the city's creation. The issue includes "detailed critiques of individual buildings, original drawings from the architects, and photographs by Byron," deep-diving into the spatial mastery, geometric master planning, and structural synthesis of British master architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker.
