"New Delhi has been home to extra-ordinary modern architecture from its inception: the monumental, brick-lined St. Martin\'s Garrison Church, the elegant mansions of Sujan Singh Park Complex, the understated, finely detailed IIC, the pathbreaking exhibition complex at Pragati Maidan, the astounding, sculptural Belgain Embassy. The Modern Architecture of New Delhi, lists the most important buildings in the city which every Delhiite needs to know about. The first handbook of Delhi\'s modern architecture, it includes a description of each building, and of the architect and his vision for the work; key features to look out for and a glossary to explain all architectural terms. Beautifully designed, with stunning photography, this is an essential book for all lovers of Delhi and of modern architecture."
