Edwin Lutyens was the chief architect of New Delhi and designed several iconic buildings. He drew inspiration from local architectural styles and incorporated classical elements. His plan for New Delhi included wide roads laid out in a radial and hexagonal pattern. Key buildings like Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate borrowed from historical Indian styles like stupas and pavilions while also having elements of British architecture. The extensive planning of New Delhi considered topography, expansion needs, and traffic flow.
