Institute has it all:

• spaces for casual interaction;

• frequently changing perspectives;• and a balance between modernity and

tradition that captures the spirit of

contemporary India.

creativity of the students, who areclearly the best in the country, coming

as they do after one of the most

rigorous selection process."




• Kahn's architecture is notable for

its simple, platonic forms and

compositions.

• Kahn design of buildings,

characterized by powerful,

massive forms, made him one ofthe most discussed architects to

emerge after World War II.

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.





The building works with the climate shading the internal spaces from

the hot summer sun.

in India. The land stradles two hills with outcrops ofslate. The naturalvegetation is wild grass,which has been allowed togrow, augmented by rowsand clumps of trees. Therooms, arcade and porch, aremade from a simplevocabulary of trabeated andarcuated construction, with

the walls clad with stonescreed in shades of greenand yellow grey thatestablishes a close rapportwith the site.
