COLONIAL CLUBS
inputs invited...
i am an undergraduate student doing an architectural research thesis on COLONIAL CLUBS on india, and looking at the case of Kolkata. the selected british clubs on my list are calcutta club, saturday club, tollygunge club and royal calcutta golf club... but i am not being able to collect enough data, or any kind of architectural drawings/documentation on it.... it would great if anyone could suggest me how to go about it, whom to connect, and where could i find some material on the same...
thank you.. ur inputs on this are WELCOMED.....
You might find that the East India Club in London can help.
you could connect the Chicago Architectural Club, which as an institution was modeled on colonial clubs. Hasbrouck wrote a huge book on the subject.
You might want to compare them to Studio 54 in New York City.....it was a raging Club during the Sex Revolution.
Not drawings or data, but if you're looking for how these clubs functioned socially, who was excluded when and why, you might want to look at
