Richest of Legacies: British Colonial Architecture of India

Lecturer: Anthony Peers

This lecture considers the magnificent George Gilbert Scott designed university buildings in Mumbai (Bombay), India. The chapters of this building’s story -its design, construction, history and restoration – provide useful start points from which to consider the broader historical, cultural, and architectural context of architecture in nineteenth century India.
