J.A.Stein’s increasing
concern with protection
of natural landscape
and the development of
an environmentally
friendly architectural
style led him to
campaign actively
against deforestation of
Himalayas.

INSTITUTE

Architect: B V Doshi & J.A.
Stein
Location: 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
16
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
17
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.

20. Triveni Kala Sangam
Cultural and arts centre in New Delhi
Contains four art galleries, a chamber theatre, outdoor theatre and an open
air sculpture gallery.

26. Indian Habitat center
26
Joseph Allen Stein decided
to radically change the
traditional image of an
office building as an
architectural project and
transformed it into an
urban design project
29. 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

47
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.
48
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."
49
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.

53. BHOPAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HEADQUARTERS
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.
53
56. Besides the ground level designed for the movement of
vehicles, the elevated terrace levels keep the pedestrian
movement isolated from the vehicular traffic.
56
58. 58
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.
59. • 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.
59

BALCONIES PROVIDED
RECESSES IN THE WALL
The building works with the climate shading the internal
spaces from the hot summer sun.
65. • 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.
65
69. • 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.
69
72. 72
• 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.
73
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.

79. • 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.
79
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
80
86. • 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.
86
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.

103. The Permanent Exhibition Complex
103
• 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.
104
105. 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.
109. 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
109
110. Engineers India Limited
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.
110
111. The structural cores along with the extended floors form a
giant sunbreaker.
111
113. 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
113
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.
