Introduction
The Indian Institute of Management (Indian Institute of Management) was one
of the few commissions that Kahn made outside the United States. It began in
1962 and that same year the architect was commissioned to another
important work in Dhaka, the National Assembly of Bangladesh.
Completing the project took more than a decade, but Kahn in his last trip to
India in 1974, before his death to return to the U.S., could see most of the
finished building your project.
The commission initially offered to architect Bal Krishna Doshi, but he had met
Kahn in Philadelphia and was aware of the importance of their work and the
importance that the new project would have on both Kahn and for India,
recommended that be given the new project to American architect.
Location
It was built in an isolated rural area
many miles away from the first point
urbanized city of Ahmedabad, one of
the most populous in India, in
Gujarat state, west of the country
and bordering with Pakistan to the
northwest.
Concept
Kahn conceived the Indian Institute of
Managemnent as a mixture of austerity
and majesty, including spaces for
informal interaction and achieving a
balance between modernism and
tradition, which captured the timeless
spirit of India.

formal types of buildings. Have been used subtly in the four corners
of the school building and is the main organizing principle within the
school buildings, residence and staff accommodation and service.
Features
Distinctive features of these buildings include the many square
arches and brick structures on the walls with carved circles.
The library
The library building is five storied structure
with rectangular plan.
It is approached by a broad, imposing flight
of steps from the parking lot.
The design has been conceived to entail
movement from the active spaces to most
private and quite carrels at the farthest
reaches.
Materials
Building materials brick has been used
as primary building material for the
entire complex walls, columns. Brick
arches have been used for wide spans.
Use of concrete has been restricted to
foundations, floor slabs, and ties for
arched openings.
