DESCRIPTION

Montages of iconic modernist buildings in New Delhi looking at their original state and their condition now.

TRANSCRIPT

Ram Rahman

Delhi’s Modern Architecture, then and now. These montages are of iconic Delhi modernist buildings, when they were built, and their condition now. Two are of the Curzon Road Hostels designed by my father Habib Rahman in 1966, using his original black and white photographs and my pictures shot in 2008. The ISBT terminal was a post-Corbu building designed by Rajinder Kumar in the early 1970’s. I have montaged it with Corbu’s Carpenter Center building in Harvard University.
