The article provides information on modern architect Balkrislma Doshi and transformation of architectural culture and tradition of India. Topics discussed include growth of modern architecture and nourishments from foreign culture, variability of artistic forms presented at Museum of Roman Art, and colonial occupation in Great Britain.

The article focuses on the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida, Spain, designed by architect Rafael Moneo. It states that one bold move related to the construction of the museum was the reconsignment of the excavations to a subterranean realm. According to the author, despite the associations and the arches, the museum composition could not be called classical, and states that it is asymmetrical and therefore modern. It is inferred that the museum has been criticised for its lack of contextual response.
