Before we discuss the effect of Culture on Architecture, we wilt first try to understand the true meaning of the words civilization, culture and architecture. It would be impudent on my part to explain the word “architecture” to such a distinguished gathering of architects and I will, therefore, first deal with the conditions that create civilization and culture as architects to the present age—which future historians may record with pride when they write about India after her Independence.
