This blog has been set up by Texas Tech Honors College Students who are taking a course called 'India- An Architectural Point of view'. The course, taught by TTU College of Architecture Professor Joe Aranha introduces students to the multi-cultural, multi-religious and multi-ethnic diversity of India through a semester long study about Indian architecture and the, historical, social, cultural, religious, political and other factors that have shaped and continue to shape the Indian built environment. The class also prepares students for the capstone requirement of the course - a study tour at the end of the fall semester 2010, that provides the opportunity to get a personal experience of India
During the tour students will use this blog to report on their travels through Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. They will describe their daily experiences and discuss their personal impressions of the people, places, architecture, food and other aspects of life that they experience in India. The study tour is sponsored in part by the Rai Foundation India, a philanthropic and educational organization with whom TTU has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on getting to know India.
