Indo-Saracenic Architecture
Indo-Saracenic architecture (also known as Indo-Gothic, Mughal-Gothic, Neo-Mughal, or Hindoo style) was a revivalist architectural style mostly used by British architects in India in the later 19th century, especially in public and government buildings in the British Raj, and the palaces of rulers of the princely states. It drew stylistic and decorative elements from native Indo-Islamic architecture, especially Mughal architecture, which the British regarded as the classic Indian style, and, less often, from Hindu temple architecture. The basic layout and structure of the buildings tended to be close to that used in contemporary buildings in other revivalist styles, such as Gothic revival and Neo-Classical, with specific Indian features and decoration added. The style drew from western exposure to depictions of Indian buildings from about 1795, such as those by William Hodges and the Daniell duo (William Daniell and his uncle Thomas Daniell). The first Indo-Saracenic buildi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Bulandshahr: Or, Sketches of an Indian District: Social, Historical and Architectural'' is an 1884 book written by Frederic Growse, a district magistrate and collector for the Indian Civil Service, about the district of Bulandshahr in the North-Western Provinces during the British rule in India. It was published by Medical Hall Press, Benares, and includes a description of Bulandshahr, an account of its history from antiquity to the 1857 rebellion, and of how the town was rebuilt under the supervision of Growse himself in the late 19th century.

The British government in India's interpretation of the book was that it praised Indian architecture excessively and endorsed Indian autonomy. Growse was subsequently transferred from Bulandshahr and further publications banned. Later appraisals of his work note ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buildings And Structures In Uttar Pradesh
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings). Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the ''outside'' (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful). Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artistic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
