•GANDHI LABOUR INSTITUTE
Architect: B V Doshi & J.A. SteinLocation: Ahmedabad
16
Gandhi Labour Institute
Gandhi Labour Institute was established by Gujarat Government in 1984 to provide for education, training, study and research in labour and related subjects. The institution has been designed by architect B V Doshi and it reuses many elements from Sangath, his office
17
Gandhi labour Institute
• The concrete vaults covered in white china mosaic, the faceted terraces, earth mounds, greet plaster on external walls and an amphitheatre; all these elements form a language which was also explored in Sangath
18
The building is approached at the first floor with a forecourt and wide steps flanked by a pool. One enters under a transversal vault which then feeds laterally into the various departments as well as the hostel block. This transversal vault, to me, is the most powerful space in the entire institution and gives this place, a unique identity.

Indian Habitat Center
• The space was designed to permit the members of the Centre to share services both inside and outside the building with multiple courtyards, common meeting rooms, shared parking area, library, restaurants, museum, and hotels, some of which are open to the general public. Constructed on nine acres in an urban area, the building eschewed traditional building materials and techniques

•Established:1961•Type: Education and Research Institution•Location : Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India•Campus : Urban, 100 acres (0.40 km²)
48
Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad• The campus of IIMA is
dominated by the baked brick style favored by its chief architect, the famous Louis Kahn from Philadelphia.
• All the structures are designed to be part of a whole and create a red-brick mini-cityscape that attracts many architecture students.
• Other architects who collaborated on the campus include the renowned B. V. Doshi and Anant Raje.
49
Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad
• Designed by Louis Kahn,campus of the Institute has it all:
• a blend of austerity and majesty;
• spaces for casual interaction; • frequently changing
perspectives; • and a balance between
modernity and tradition that captures the spirit of contemporary India.
• It stimulates the imagination and creativity of the students, who are clearly the best in the country, coming as they do after one of the most rigorous selection process."
50
• Kahn's architecture is notable for its simple, platonic forms and compositions.
• Kahn design of buildings, characterized by powerful, massive forms, made him one of the most discussed architects to emerge after World War II.
• Through the use of brick and poured-in place concrete masonry, he developed a contemporary and monumental architecture that maintained sympathy for the site.

Even though the entire plot is covered by the building to get the maximum land utilization, it has enough open space for terraces built and integrated in the composition of the layout.

Besides the ground level designed for the movement of vehicles, the elevated terrace levels keep the pedestrian movement isolated from the vehicular traffic.

All openings are integrated with the structure in such a way that they create a pocket of shadow within which the windows fall offering a complete freedom to the design and form of the windows.

•To Raje, , light does not merely have the significance of a functional signal
• He says-my work, is like taking light in the form that is brought to us, in the sense of the plan and the choice of material , where you have these gradations of light which become evocative of certain kinds of uses.
• When I'm talking about dark spaces, I don't mean to say absolutely black or anything like that, because no-thing is really black; even night is not really black if you look up into the sky, there is a little luminous glow.

The building works with the climate shading the internal spaces from the hot summer sun.

•The project layout limits transit vehicular movement and enhances pedestrian circulation within the commercial complex.
•Covered walkways and pedestrian streets are provided.
•The different facilities are arranged around three courts, with the wholesale market at the center and the trading cells, banks and post office buildings on the periphery.

•The buildings are based on the repetition of 4.5 meter wide structural bays roofed with a barrel vault concrete shell.
•This standardization allowed for a rapid and economical construction process.
•The project also features an auction hall with raised platform for loading and unloading produce.

•The series of loggias making up the dormitories do not open on the courtyard placed in their center in order to achieve maximum privacy
•The compound is enclosed by stone walls, and the buildings' openings are spanned by concrete lintels and are deeply recessed to provide additional shade.
73
The exposed stone facades and arched lintels used throughout convey a visual unity to the overall design.
74
75
•The complex, built in the midst of wheat fields, consists of two distinct clusters respectively housing the school and residential units.
•The former group of structures, accessed by a courtyard, is designed as a house, with several courts and rooms where people can gather, and a verandah used as a dining space.
• Indoor and outdoor areas are clearly defined so as to reflect the villagers' perception of space and seclusion.

PLAN

• The project restates time tested premises of the court and garden, fundamental to most Islamic architecture in India. The land stradles two hills with outcrops of slate. The natural vegetation is wild grass, which has been allowed to grow, augmented by rows and clumps of trees. The rooms, arcade and porch, are made from a simple vocabulary of trabeated and arcuated construction, with the walls clad with stone screed in shades of green and yellow grey that establishes a close rapport with the site.
80
• Demonstrating rigours and containing faiths so necessary, and yet elusive in practice. The IIFM building has become a touchstone for the professional, especially the young. Humanism & Urbanism: Using primarily Enlightenment design methods, and developing a particular variant of technique or the mode of knowing best represented by the school of Louis Kahn, Anant Raje constructs an ideogrammatic representation of architecture

• The chaotic metropolis of Bombay deeply influences Raje and he infact proclaims himself an "urban man" contrary to Doshi who although from the same school, looks to village life.
87
• Anant raje’s Stress is placed on integration of culture and spiritual wellbeing and efforts as designer are aimed at process of integration of man, the space around him and the elements making up the space.

The Permanent Exhibition Complex• Building Type –
Exhibition• Year - 1972 • The Permanent
Exhibition Complex is designed to form the focus of 130 acres of Exhibition ground designed by Raj Rewal in New Delhi.
103
The Permanent Exhibition Complex•The design was evolved to meet the
constraints of time, availability of materials and labour, but above all, to reflect symbolically and technologically, India's intermediate technology in the 25th year of its independence.
104
The Permanent Exhibition Complex• The depth of the
structural system was utilized as a Sun breaker and conceived of in terms of the traditional 'jali', a geometrical pattern of perforation that serves to obstruct directs rays of the harsh Sun while permitting air circulation.
105• Main pavilion of the Hall of Nations has a clear span of 78 meters and a height varying from three meters to 21 meters, thereby providing a vast capacity for items to be exhibited, from books to bulldozers.

The building is the first major office to be constructed within the Bhikaji Cama Bazaar area. The aim was to create an air-conditioned office space which would have the least possible initial outlay and subsequently minimum running expanses
110
The form of the building is derived with the aim of saving energy. The service cores are designed in such a manner that they also cut down harsh glare from the south-west, The stepping of floors within the cores and extending different floors to the east and west ends of the building, creates a zone of surface under shadow, thus reducing temperatures.

The structural cores along with the extended floors form a giant sunbreaker.

The primary function of the institute is scientific research. The programme contains laboratories, study rooms, a library, auditorium, a director's house and lodgings for professors with families, married assistants and unmarried researchers
114
Each of these dwellings is in its own cluster close to the entrance of the site. The central building also acts as a gateway and its axis corresponds with the main spine of the scheme.
