内容説明
'Mughal Architecture & Gardens' gives an insight into what is undoubtedly one of the most impressive groups of monuments and gardens ever to be ascribed to a single royal lineage. Innovative and inspirational, these 16th and 17th century constructions demonstrate the staggering wealth and power of those responsible for their creation, notably the emperors Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan. Mughal architecture is a remarkable hybrid that fuses building forms and decorative schemes from Iran and Central Asia with long-established Indian practice. The most famous examples are the Red Fort in Dehli and Taj Mahal in Agra. This beautifully illustrated book outlines the history of Mughal architecture and gardens, from stylistic developments under different emperors, to the geometric origins of Mughal design and decoration. Now the gardens are mostly lost, but Michell carefully depicts how they would have been; their structures and layouts, the favoured varieties of colourful flowers and scented plants, and the laborious but innovative methods sometimes used to create running water in areas without natural springs and streams. The author gives particular attention to the major monuments and gardens in the imperial centres of Mughal power, namely Dehli, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Lahore. These sections are accompanied by specially commissioned architectural plans as well as over 250 stunning colour photographs. Written by a leading authority on Indian architecture, this magnificent book is the quintessential guide to Mughal architecture and garden design.

A coffee table sort of book
2012/1/6
形式:ハードカバー
I had been looking forward to this book's publication, and am rather disappointed. The many photographs are undoubtedly stunning, and well supported by specially commissioned maps and plans, but the text is brief and not very illuminating. There are no footnotes, nor a bibliography. If you are looking for a mouth-wateringly beautiful coffee table book about Mughal Indian buildings and designed landscapes, this is just the thing; but if you are searching for something more learned or academic, I fear you will, like me, be a little disappointed.

This book meets all expectations. The picture quality is of a very high caliber, and there are many images of buildings and rooms which are difficult to find elsewhere. The book does not limit itself to just the monuments which are most often photographed, or to just the imperial capitals, or indeed just to India itself. All these attributes are very much appreciated. As the previous reviewer commented, if one buys this book expecting a detailed thesis, one might be disappointed. But that was never the intent of this book, and as picture book with relatively broad scope and intersting diagrams and informed commentary, its an outstanding volume.
