Lutyens’ Delhi is an area in New Delhi, Delhi, India, named after the leading British architect Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944), who was responsible for much of the architectural design and building when India was part of the British Empire in the 1920s and 1930s. This also includes the Lutyens Bungalow Zone (LBZ).

Ww + His first exercise in this Neo-Classical idiom came with the commission for Heathcoate, Ilkley, Yorkshire (completed in 1906). Here the plan is strictly symmetrical—a large central block with two rectangular side wings.
