A building I like



Delhi has a glut of magnificent mughal buildings, and plenty of raj-era grandeur, but strangely for a city with such a modern overlay, very few interesting modern buildings. This is one of the few I like - nice and simple, unusual in its sloping sides, and thankfully unafflicted by the air-conditioning outlets which blemish most Delhi facades like barnacles on yachts. It currently houses the Commonwealth Games Secretariat (hence the sporty stripes which I suspect were not part of the architect's original vision).
