I went up to the library of Bombay Univ and looked up some old books. He was asked why he picked such cathedral-like themes for a place of learning in the East - and he says that for Mumbai University, he was inspired by "secular Belgian architecture". I thought of Brugge.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, this guy never set foot in Bombay to design the university. He did it out of his London offices. Most of the raw material for the Univ was sourced locally - Porbandar white lime, yellow Kurla basalt, Ratnagiri grey granite...the teak was Burma Teak. Grille work was imported, so were colourful Minton tiles for the floor. <BR/><BR/>Next time you come to Bombay, let's go see it. I'll show you a small carved face of Shakespeare, peeking out from behind a pillar. And another of Homer.Deepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076685280358127119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-1167777496395547962007-01-03T04:08:00.000+05:302007-01-03T04:08:00.000+05:30The Notre Dame Catedral also has rose windows on b...The Notre Dame Catedral also has rose windows on both sides. I guess the English were trying to liken the design for an institute of learning to the house of God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
