Imperial Progress: On the Impracticality of Problem-Solving in Colonial Indian Building

Imperial dominance in Asia enabled European engineers and architects to exercise their technical expertise in some of the most extensive and audacious building projects of the modem
 era. However, coveted colonial possessions such as British India were also highly constrained spaces of opportunity in which the notion of 'progress' was engaged in a politically delicate
 dialectic, not only with the colonised societies, but also within the polyvalent structures of the colonial technocracies themselves. This paper examines this latter institutional level of
 technical reasoning and agency in the particular case of the official building practices of British India.
