American architect Joseph Allen Stein spent nearly half a century in India and designed some of it's most important modern buildings.
"In the nearly half-century he spent in India, Mr. Stein won acclaim for marrying his structures to the natural landscape. He favored buildings that merged into the trees, lawns and ponds surrounding them, and later in life he became increasingly concerned with protecting the environment, particularly the Himalayas."
