Resumen
A partir de 1857, cuando la India se convirtió en una colonia sujeta al control directo de la corona británica, ¿fue el estilo arquitectónico adoptado por la potencia colonial un intento de subvertir la identidad local y reafirmar su supremacía a través de la arquitectura o era su propósito integrar sus instituciones en el contexto? ¿Tuvo el estilo “indo-sarraceno” una naturaleza arquitectónica anacrónica y reductora o se trataba de una forma de inspirarse en el pasado? ¿Qué papel desempeñó el Jeypore Portfolio en la negociación de las pretensiones coloniales mediante la apropiación de la cultura tradicional de construcción? ¿Cómo propició Bhai Ram Singh una identidad para el Lahore del siglo XIX al contextualizar la arquitectura “indo-sarracena”? Estas son las preguntas que dieron lugar a este estudio preliminar, en el que se utilizaron las fuentes literarias existentes y se analizaron los edificios proyectados por Bhai Ram Singh en la ciudad de Lahore. En el artículo también se hace una valoración crítica de la intervención del Jeypore Portfolio en la arquitectura “indo-sarracena”: cómo redujo una tradición constructiva centenaria a una paleta limitada de detalles, y los intentos de Bhai Ram Singh para darle forma desde la perspectiva autóctona.Citas
