interesting. if the inside is OK (where you would actually live) why is the exterior holding so much gravitas for you? (genuinely appreciating this polemic)
WOW, great Architecture. Spirit of Space this was well shot, great lighting -- the during construction views were very helpful to my learning!! THANK YOU for creating this.
They spent all this time developing a place that looks different but doesn't improve on the concept of a home or feature any real human-centric ideas. The building exists as a monument to itself and the convoluted "ideas" presented by the architects are just self-aggrandizement. It looks interesting, sure: but to what end? It's not a sustainable building and it's not even remotely affordable.
Thanks for sharing this one! Previously, I had only heard about the studio through a student housing project in Chicago, which I came across on ArchDaily. I studied its geometry and rhythms out of curiosity. Seeing their other projects and gaining insight into their conceptual approach feels terrific. A beautiful showcase! Greetings from Ukraine, btw
Hey America, It's not the Mughal Culture. You are referring it to 'Mughal Culture' because Mughals destroyed Indian Culture which were much more advanced. Anyways one only point - are there same building in history from where Mughal came from 😂?. Its the Indian Culture, Architecture, Workers who worked for Mughals at that point of time in History
@@shortworld5622jali itself is Hindi word not Arab word nothing called Mughal architecture it's indian Hindu architects who built those mosque and what happened to those people is a well known fact go watch Uzbekistan afganistan and find similar architecture I bet u don't because it's simple Hindu architects build those with Islamic text thus mugal architecture it's originally ancient Rajasthani architecture Now u cry kiddo
What kind of culture they are talking about??? if the Mugals was our culture to incorporate their peace of design in the Embassy Building then Where is the element of Jain Culture, Bodh Culture, Sikh Culture, Bangali Culture, Jain Culture, christianity, South India Cultures, or many more....and where is India Culture have unmatchable architecture in thousand years old Mandirs...like Surya Mandir, Lepakshi temple, Hampi Virupaksha Temple, Chennakeshava Temple, Kanchi Temple, Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple, Tanjore Temple, Halebidu Temple, Konark Temple and many more....where is their element....This Embassy does not belongs to India It belongs to Afganistan, Pakistan or any Islamic Country...!!! Mugals were not from India They came to India to Invade Us...If Invader were our culture then you should add Elements of (Aryan Invasion (1800-1500 BCE), Persian invasions(535 BC ), Alexander’s Invasion(336 BC -323 BC), Invasion of Seleucid(305 -303 BC), Indo, Greek Invasion (180 BC), Huna Invasion(458 AD), The European Invasionsor or Britishers).
Don't be fooled, This is just projection of Whyte Supremacy, Western empire on rest of the world.. Recently they built a $300 million US Consulate in Hyderabad? What is the need to spend $300 Million? Similar one was built in Lebanon, after they built a $1 Billion embassy in London, UK, some years ago ! This is all projection of their supremacist flag across the planet - they want to see India as their next colony - Colonialism 2.0 is happening as we speak, with India , they are looting us again, with a smile on their faces. !
WOW! Make Embassies world-class and bless India with poor infrastructure. Wonder why Diplomats always do daydreaming in that palace and lack vision in their work.
Another electronics-filled American fortress that will cause its inhabitants buzzing issues in their brains like those reportedly experienced in some other countries accusing them of using a weapon on its staff. Someone is having serious hallucinations about others when the harm is actually self-inflicted?
Absolutely! India is a treasure trove of diverse architectural styles that span centuries. While Mughal architecture has certainly left a mark on the country, it is essential to acknowledge that India has its own unique architectural heritage that predates the Mughal era and continues to flourish today. The United States diplomatic building in Delhi may incorporate elements of Mughal architecture, which is a testament to the fusion of cultures and the appreciation for India's rich history. However, it is crucial for architects to explore the vastness of India's architectural traditions and draw inspiration from various styles like Hemadpanti. Hemadpanti architecture, originating from the Deccan region, is known for its intricate carvings, ornamental designs, and grand temples. It represents a distinct architectural expression that deserves recognition and inclusion in contemporary designs. By embracing India's diverse architectural heritage and incorporating styles like Hemadpanti, architects can create a harmonious blend of the old and the new, celebrating the country's rich past while embracing its modern aspirations. India's architectural legacy is a source of pride and inspiration, and it's essential to explore and appreciate its various styles
Time that GoI took away these lands from Foreign Embassy's & develop these high value lands something more useful. Allocate lands in less value somewhere else!
Yes, why should we draw inspiration from wondrous indigenous architects, instead, we look towards the regressive architectures of barbaric Islamic invaders.
