Contemporary Architecture
Bahai Temple
After the British left India in 1947 Indian architecture dropped into an abyss;
Indian architects during the British period had been relegated to being assistants, and
they were not involved in the actual design of monuments;
Dilemma between the Revivalists and the Modernists
Experiments with new ideas;
Instead of soft curves, there are now harsh lines;
Basic design is flat and square, not round anymore;
Used material
