An ‘ornament of the city’ for all to see!

The book on the University of Bombay is a photographic feast to the 
architectural eye

In 2007 the University of Mumbai completes 150 years. For six months 
prior to the big day a team of 13 worked for six months to compile a 
tribute: a tribute to the year 1857. The year 1857 is best remembered as 
the year of the Sepoy Mutiny - our first battle for independence. 
'University of Mumbai: Ornament of the City' reminds us that the year 
also saw the birth of three universities in Mumbai, Kolkata and Madras. 
The book is a photographic feast to the architectural eye.
