In this painstakingly documented and engagingly narrated book, the authors and their research team systematically profile numerous examples of different types of buildings and aesthetic expressions as they emerged from the socio-cultural and religious developments over three millennia. All major building typologies are explored, including the sacred and the secular, the vernacular and the classic, the traditional and the avante-garde. The nine chapters in turn cover the timeless indigenous aesthetic sensibilities expressed in tribal settlements, sacred architecture of the Jains and Buddhists, classical Hindu temples and the many other types, defensive architecture in the Forts, the royal sensibilities and influences in the Palaces, Art and Craft heritage, European stylistic influences in colonial constructions, Post-Independence architectural expressions and the contemporary variety. New lessons in the architectural history of the state are elaborated as much as those already learnt are re-interpreted in the light of fresh documentation. With more than 120 original drawings and 450 photographs, this book is exceptional in its extensive documentation and exploration of all types of architecture, and the first such attempt made for the range of treasures in Odisha. With 68 projects of immense historical, cultural and architectural significance, it is a must-have book on the architecture of the state.
