Madras High Court
J. W. Brassington; Henry Irwin · Chennai, India · 1892
The Madras High Court combines a substantial institutional programme with an animated skyline of domes, towers and arches. Its red façades and Indo-Saracenic detailing make it one of Chennai's major civic landmarks. The complex demonstrates how colonial public architecture used regional references to establish a strong visual identity within the city. Visiting: A working court. The Indo-Saracenic domes and towers are seen from NSC Bose Road and Parry's Corner.
