The proposal for a newly designed Central Vista of government buildings in Delhi Rendering: HCP Designs
Despite widespread opposition, the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has begun a £2bn overhaul of Delhi s grand complex of government buildings in a bid to sever the nation from its colonial past.
At a ceremony held last week, Modi laid the foundation stone for a new building to replace Parliament House, designed by English architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, which upon its completion in 1927 became the seat of power for British-ruled India. Since Indian independence in 1947, the building has been used as the meeting place for the republic s houses of parliament.
