Evolve Back, along with the Deccan Heritage Foundation, was pleased to host an illustrated lecture titled ‘From the American Southwest to India’s Deccan plateau John M Fritz at Hampi Vijayanagara’ by the eminent architectural historian Dr. George Michell at the Evolve Back Kamalapura Place Hampi.
The late Dr John M. Fritz was the first American archaeologist to survey the ruins of Hampi Vijayanagara. Trained at the University of Chicago as an anthropologist with a special interest in prehistoric Native American sites in New Mexico and Arizona, Dr. Fritz brought an entirely new perspective to South Asian urban studies. Together with Dr George Michell, Dr. Fritz directed a team of volunteer architects and archaeologists to investigate the meaning of Hampi’s city plan.
Dr George Michell is an architectural historian who has worked extensively in the Deccan region, beginning some 50 years ago with a doctoral thesis on Early Chalukya temples. His collaborative publications with Dr Fritz include Hampi Vijayanagara, the popular guidebook issued by the Deccan Heritage Foundation. Dr. Michell’s most recent publication is the profusely illustrated Temples of Deccan India.
The Deccan Heritage Foundation is a charitable organisation established in 2011 that works with the heritage of the Deccan region of India through educational and conservation programmes to spread awareness and restore and rehabilitate monuments. They have done stellar work in the Hampi region, including the restoration of the Gagan Mahal in Anegundi.
