ARCHITECTURE ON BARAKHAMBA ROAD
AND ITS SURROUNDINGS

Barakhamba Road, situated in the heart of New Delhi, India, serves as a tangible
timeline of architectural evolution, showcasing various styles from different time periods.
As one traverses this historic thoroughfare, they are greeted by a rich tapestry of
buildings, each telling a story of its era. Here's a glimpse into the different types of
architecture and buildings representing distinct time periods along Barakhamba Road :
 Colonial Architecture
(Late 19th to Early
20th Century):
• Barakhamba Road was initially laid out
during the British colonial period. Many
structures along this road reflect the
architectural style prevalent during that
time. These buildings often feature neo-
classical elements, characterized by grand
facades, imposing columns, and
symmetrical designs. Examples include the
iconic Connaught Place, a sprawling
commercial complex built in the early 20th
century, which remains a prominent
landmark with its circular layout and white
colonnades.
MODERNIST
ARCHITECTURE (MID-
20TH CENTURY
Post-independence, India witnessed a surge in
modernist architecture, characterized by
simplicity, functionality, and experimentation with
materials. Along Barakhamba Road, one can find
buildings reflecting this ethos, with clean lines,
minimalist aesthetics, and innovative structural
concepts. The LIC Building stands as a testament
to modernist architecture. Completed in 1956, its
towering presence and rationalist design make it
a notable landmark, embodying the aspirations of
a newly independent nation.

this high-tech architectural style, showcasing cutting-edge
design principles and sustainable features tailored for the needs
of the 21st century.
