Our world is full of lands, cities, buildings and artefacts, many of which are deposits and residues of colonial times and, more pervasively, colonial processes. Reclaiming Colonial Architecture unpacks the built inheritances of colonialism and re-thinks how we might understand, narrate, intervene in or act upon them as architects.
Offering historical background, unpacking key concepts and presenting thematically organised and multi-scalar urban and architectural case studies, this accessible publication showcases how legacies of colonialism are being dealt with in real-world instances. Case studies involve works and actions by built environment professionals such as architects and heritage practitioners, as well as community initiatives and activism.
The book aims to build confidence in practitioners, students and communities grappling with a seemingly vast and complex terrain of debates and approaches around colonial landscapes, urban areas, buildings, monuments and material culture. It also aims to be a helpful resource for architecture schools or critical heritage studies departments and organisations. Its content will provide a point of departure for graduate student inquiry and its accessible nature will help introduce undergraduate students to the concepts and questions of colonial built-environments.

Dr Tania Sengupta teaches and is Director of Architectural History and Theory at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. Her specialism is in colonial architecture and urban spatial history, especially of South Asia, with particular focus on architectures of governance, bureaucracy and domesticity in British India in the nineteenth century, and the material culture of colonialism and how these translate into spaces/architecture.

He is a member of the University's Australian Centre for Architectural History and Urban Cultural Heritage (ACAHUCH) and undertakes research in nineteenth century colonial architecture in Australia, on topics including colonial public works and architecture, climatic considerations in colonial architecture, material geographies, and heritage.
