NDMC

Architecture: NDMC, Delhi
Architect: Kuldip Singh
Style: Brutalism
Brutalism is a style in Architecture which rejects any external decorative cladding and even paint and plaster, keeping the building's concrete structure exposed as the finished facade. The aim was to represent brutal honesty in architectural form.
India saw the first phase of brutalism when French architect Le Corbusier designed some of the world's seminal brutalist buildings in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad in the early 1950s. This set an example and influenced the architecture styles of many first-generation architects of independent India.
One can see some beautiful brutalist buildings in the capital city of India which were built between late 1960s and early 1980s.
