In twenty-first-century India, hybridity, pluralism and fusion reign over singular identities, the resultant architecture mirroring the socioeconomic and political fabric of one of the world’s largest and most populous nation-states.

This book is Rahul Mehrotra's personal account and presents four distinct genres of architectural expression, introducing the proponents of each with a bold, incisive text supported by exceptional examples of projects that showcase the disparity and coexistence of multiple approaches.

Featuring the work of more than 60 contemporary architects and lavishly illustrated with over 500 stunning photographs, this book will interest a vast readership of academics, architects and students as well as exponents of multiple design disciplines and the general reader with an interest in contemporary India.
