18. Landscape and Urbanism
The School of Architecture and Planning is developing a research and teaching emphasis in the departments of Architecture and Urban Studies and Planning in what we term the emerging field of Landscape+Urbanism. The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture will be actively involved in this field, in collaboration with the City Design and Development group. James Wescoat offers seminars in HTC on Indo-Islamic landscapes, landscape heritage conservation, and historical-geographic inquiry.
A portion of Arindam Dutta’s next book, Ancestralities, compares the garden designs of the British and American landowning class and the zamindari class in Bengal of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Critical here is the role of landscape as a form of socialization under different governmental regimes, for instance in the transition from the ancien regimes of Europe and Mughal feudal arrangements in India, to a new fiscal dynamics driven by the Bank of England in the eighteenth century.
