Host & Moderator: Martin Lutyens & Robin Prater
In 1912, Edwin Lutyens was asked to join what became the Delhi Planning Commision, charged with advising on the siting and layout of a new capital for India. Although Lutyens went on to design a number of the buildings in New Delhi, notably Rashtrapati Bhavan, this webinar focuses on the theories and concepts of the planning for the new city. Martin Lutyens discusses the work at New Delhi within the context of Edwin Lutyens’s overall body of work. Dhiru Thadani looks at the connectivity between the planning of New Delhi and the layouts of other major capitals, such as Paris and Washington, D.C. Krishna Menon shares his insights into how the flexibility of Lutyens’s plan for New Delhi allowed the city to transition into the modern Republican city that it is today.

We Indians (specially delhi residents) will always be in debt of Mr Lutyens......Sir Lutyens ,salute to your creativity and planning....Lutyens Delhi is nothing less than 8 th wonder of this world.
I think you guys should invite Ar. Bimal Patel to discuss his plan for Central Vista.
The two domes of Mr Lutyens's County Hall would have been an ab-SOOO-lutely stunning tribute to the amazing Mr Wren !! :-o :-o :-o
Edwin Lutyens's New Delhi is undoubtedly one of the wonders of the world !! :-o :-o :-o
It is obvious to me that Mr Lutyens's County Hall would have been ab-SOOO-lutely glory-ous,
ab-SOOO-lutely marvel-lous !! :-o :-o :-o
I trust the Genius !! :-) :-) :-)
I perfectly understand Mr Lutyens's disappointment and frustration when his County Hall project was rejected !! :-( :-( :-(
He obviously knew that his building would have been one of the glories of London, one of its marvels !! :-o :-o :-o
Bravo
Today's County Hall is magnificent, but I know that Mr Lutyens's building would have been far more elegant !! :-) :-) :-)
It seems to me that Christopher Wren's plan for the City of London has been forgotten here !! :-( :-( :-(
What would Edwin Lutyens think about that ?? :-) :-) :-)
" Wren is to be worshipped " :-) :-) :-)
If they got the chance I’m sure the Indian ‘developers!’ would demolish this place, another nail in the coffin.
