Spectacular?
Does it look anything like it fits into Indian geography or history?
Why are making such buildings as some form of a shopping mall look-alikes? I wish there is an authentic Indian school of architecture. It is sad to see cheap knock-offs of US suburbia in India.

Most of India is a tropical wet or semi-arid jungle. Why don't we build gardens that suit our geography? It doesn't make any sense to make trimmed lawns with grass.
Indian gardens traditionally had cooling pools filled with lotuses. Large bowers of flowering trees can grow here.

It is ridiculous to ape a steppe landscape in the middle of tropical India. There are places where such gardens make sense, like Himalayan meadows. But not in Bengaluru ! Why don't people first check the latitude of the place!? There is so many fantastic trees that can grow here.
If you don't have any ideas, just grow bamboo groves. They grow like wild in India. Why not make use of this within the garden design.
But if we have patience and planning, we can grow fantastic trees, something other countries can only dream of: Banyan, Peepal, Mango, Neem...

Every time I see manicured lawns in India, with a constant battle to keep them from drying up, I wonder if only this were a lotus pool, by the side of great trees, covered with tropical creepers.. Other countries would dream of making such gardens. In India, we don't even wonder.
How dumb are the landscape architects in India? They don't even know that India even had a gardening tradition. It really annoyed me like hell when I saw this video.
With such level of ignorance, we will only get such ugly plexiglass aqueducty thingies.

The reality is that India influenced the whole wide world through her gardening tradition. It is one of the greatest exports of Indian culture, some things went east and some things went west.
But we have now completely forgotten our heritage.
