Delirious City - Polity And Vanity In Urban India

"The aim of the book is to rile and provoke the reader with a disparate arc of writing, drawing, painting, sculpture, and architecture, and relieve the mood in satire. The discourse begins by describing urban life as it exists, proceeds down the path of memory to state something of how it used to be, and finally addresses the hope of a different future—of how we may begin to view the places we make with optimism and hope.Sometimes architectural, sometimes cultural—but frequently facetious and farcical—Delirious City imitates life in the Indian city."
