On this tour by Indian Frontiers we will examine the evolving architectural styles – from the grand designs of the rulers intending to impose their order on India and integrate their style as the native Indian design of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century seeking greater integration. While some structures were designed by prominent British architects including, Scott, Edwin Lutyens, and Baker, many buildings were designed by lesser known architects such as Stevens, Emerson, and Shoosmith who lived in India since long and to a great extent were influenced by India and its native designs that became evident in their works.

Join us on a 13-day journey through Delhi, Calcutta (now Kolkata), Madras (now Chennai), and Bombay (now Mumbai) to explore this rich history through architecture or extend the tour by another 4 days to see the British architecture in Lucknow and Allahabad (now Prayagraj).
