Event Description : TALK "Conserving the Modern Architectural Heritage of India"

Speaker: Shri A.G.K. Menon, architect and Convener, INTACH Delhi Chapter

Chair: Shri K. T. Ravindran

The term ‘architectural heritage of India’ generally refers to buildings over a hundred years old. This overlooks many significant buildings built during the last century, particularly the extraordinary architecture of post - independence. This lacuna was highlighted recently during the failed attempts to conserve the Hall of Nations at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The talk will focus on the need to conserve exemplary examples of modern architecture along with ancient ones and discuss the issues involved

Collaboration: INTACH, Delhi Chapter
