Indian Architecture has always been a thing of inquisitiveness mainly because of the magnanimity
and the arty creations. Our country has a varied mix of monuments, baroques and modernistic
buildings which echo some story on the era it saw. Another notable fact about Indian architecture is
that out of the 830 World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO, 26 of them are from India, isn’t this fact
one tangible proof of artistic geniuses?

India is a country of rich history and culture and this reflects more in different forms of artistic
building structures. But urbanization is somehow stealing the real essence of Indian architecture.
We cannot deny the fact that our country is transforming rapidly, and during this process, our cities
are totally losing the very essence that once made them unique.
There is a big debate about where this ‘development’ would lead India to. In the quest to become
“modern”, will India lose its real soul and uniqueness?
Final Thoughts
Architecture in any country reflects the phase of development it is going through. However, there is
this huge need to find sustainability in construction, to make it more capable of coping up with the
distress that any building structure is exposed to. The heritage structures and styles of Indian
architecture are strong examples of sustainable building and every developer should learn from it.
