Tombs

During the course of our trip in India, I plan to focus my studies on tomb architecture; specifically the Taj Mahal and Hummay’s tomb. I have already rented several books from the university library to research the tombs history. I intend on finding out:

-why the building was built

-who built it

-what the intended purpose for the building was

-what materials were used

-what political| religious| cultural aspects inspired the design

When all is said and done, I hope to have:

-a physical model of either the tomb itself or a significant detail

- a poster of information

-several sketches

-a short right up on the tombs
