Memorials
India
Lutyen was invited, with others, in 1912 to advise the Government of India on planning for a proposed new centre of government to be built in Delhi and named New Delhi. He became the project's leading architect, giving rise to Lutyens' Delhi, encompassing the street plan and key government builings, and his name is lent to the Lutyens Bungalow Zone of domestic properties for givernment officers (albeit Lutyens was directly responsible for the design of only four of the houese). A number of other architects, notably Herbert Baker, were responsible for the other of the city's key buildings.
