Architecture distinctly engulfs and empowers our lives. For architects, it becomes a part of their personalities, influencing their beliefs and lifestyles. Trough the stories of ten acclaimed architectural families, 'Architectural Inheritance and Evolution in India' explores how the profession situates itself in the bonds within architectural families in India, a nation rejoicing in its rich family culture and ethos. The book probes how the introduction, journey, understanding, interpretation, and approach of architecture can develop across family members. It further depicts the complexity of navigating personal and professional equations in a space where divergent notions of creativity and opinions prevail. Traversing diverse narratives over generations, the book reflects the colossal transformation of architecture over the decades, the contentious issue of entitlement and nepotism in the eld, and architecture’s ability to become a way of living and bonding among family members.
