The India Habitat Centre was conceived as a space where people from different walks of life — academics, artists, diplomats, and ordinary citizens — could come together. Its architect, Joseph Allen Stein, created a series of interconnected courtyards and gardens that are beautiful to explore even without attending a specific event.
