    Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944), who was responsible
    for much of the architectural design and building
    when India was part of the British Empire in the
    1920s and 1930s. This also includes the Lutyens
    Bungalow Zone (LBZ).
    The plan reflects Lutyens' "transcendent fervour
    for geometric symmetry," which is expressed
    through amazing sequences of triangles and
    hexagons, through sightlines and axes.
    INFERENCE
    • Arts and crafts, beaux arts, classicism, vernacular (surrey)
    • Free style planning
    • True to materials
    • Grand manner
    • Harmony between built entities and exterior landscape
    • Believed in Axial Symmetry
    Picturesque and eccentric
    • Gave immense care to details
    • Opposed voluptuous swaying curves
    • His designs have an abstract quality which achieves its effect
    through mass and geometry rather than through rich classical
    detail or ornamentation.
    Sometimes known as Lutyens elemental language in which the
    classical vocabulary of rome and renaissance seems reduced to a
    pure essence after a process of distillation.
