Kerry Edwards, a member of the list who "can't seem to be able to post any more" has forwarded the mention of this book to me for posting. Quote: Hi Denise, I can recommend Karen Leonard's book - most of us AIs from Hyderabad are included. Also another e-book - downloadable is this one on Hyderabad by Omar Khalidi. I am not sur if my post will hit the India list so you can pass it on. regards Kerry A Guide to Architecture in Hyderabad contains descriptive text, photographs and maps of nearly 200 existing and demolished buildings of Hyderabad, Deccan, India. The Guide covers built environment in the city since 1590s-1950s in one of the few planned cities of medieval Islamic India. The Guide can be viewed as pdf at http://libraries.mit.edu/rotch/HyderabadJune262008.pdf The Guide is part of documentation done at The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT. Using the Hyderabad Guide as a model, similar documentation is planned for other Indian Islamic cities. Readers are invited to send comments and questions to the author Omar Khalidi. ---------------------------------------- Omar Khalidi, PhD Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge MA 02139 USA 1-617-258-5597 okhalidi@mit.edu
