Golconde: The Introduction of Modernism in India

More about the book

Golconde is an astonishing architectural accomplishment. With technical finesse and extraordinary craft, it offers a living testament to the original modernist credo – architecture as the manifest union of technology, aesthetics, and social reform. Here exists an undiluted view of a wholly triumphant tropical Modernism, built during the tumultuous years of the second world war.Mira Nakashima, George Nakashima’s daughter, contributes with a new 800 word introduction essay for this new edition.
