🎯 FRENCH INFLUENCE ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE
🔶The French brought the concept of urban city planning with them. The French towns of Puducherry and Chandernagore (now Chandannagar,West Bengal) were built using the Cartesian grid plans and scientific architectural designs.
🔶They built imposing buildings as a show of power.
🔶They also introduced the concept of anonymous architecture which involves simple facade without much ornamentation or design, much like modern buildings.
🔶 French also developed coastal towns of Mahe (Kerala), Karaikal (Tamil Nadu) and Yanam (Andhra Pradesh).
