vii. Modern ArchitectureÂ
The Europeans initially arrived in India as traders, but over time, they gained political control and established colonial rule. Along with their dominance, they introduced the influences of the Industrial Revolution and European architectural styles. By the early 20th century, some Indian architects were trained in these European styles and began adapting them to the local context. Architects like Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, who were commissioned for prominent projects in India, greatly influenced Indian architecture and helped ignite a new trend in Modern Architecture.
