03- SHAHJAHAN
ARCHITECTURAL INCLINATION
Shahjahan was a Prolific builder.
Set up high standards of design,
workmanship and detail.
Shahjahans builders realized that
the lustrous white marble from
Makrana provides its own decorative
appearance owing to its delicate
graining and ornamentation needs to
be judiciously applied
Virtually every building plan was
reduced to a grid of columns planted
at such distance that each square
could be spanned by columns
springing from column to column.
His famous Reign of marble was a
fitting climax to Mughal building
Activity in india.

The two restraints dictated by ShahjahanEvery square inch of marble need not be fussed
and fretted with. Wherever a plastic quality has
been imparted to the marble by carving the
area had to be left as it is.
Whatever ornamentation was applied to the
building( even as pietra-dura) was to be in
consonance not only with the architectural
intentof the building but also to highlight the
structural quality of the building.
A balance between applied art and
architecture was thus achieved by making
decoration subservient to the architectural
intent

04- AURANGAZEB
ARCHITECTURAL INCLINATION
Aurangazeb was a diehard religious
fanatic.
No music was heard in his orthodox
theocratic court, no poetry was
recited and no paintings made.
Rapid decline in the standards of
architecture are a hallmark of
Aurangazebs rule.
