It is well structured and the content is really easy to find and understand. It is a great introduction intro Indian Architecture.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A Superb OverviewBy Barbara EvansThough I cant improve upon the Midwest Book Reviews overview of this book. I hope it helps prospective buyers to know that two sources think INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN ARCHITECTURE is terrific. Especially pleasing are (by my count) the 216 colored photographs. which include a number of close-ups of details of buildings. Also excellent are the many line drawings that are included to show structural detail. For those who want an in-depth exploration of a particular period or type of Indian architecture. there are other (far more expensive) books to choose from. For one who is interested in ALL Indian architecture. however. this is the book to buy.1/2/11 Update: Having just returned from India. Im even more impressed with this book. It even has a section on the fascinating stepwells.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good informationBy Jordan M. LigonThe amount of information provided was helpful for my report. I wish the photographs had been in higher resolution so I could have downloaded them with my report as examples.
