Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad, India.
The document summarizes the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, designed by architect Charles Correa. Some key points:
- Originally established in 1915 and shifted in 1917 to the banks of the Sabarmati River, where Gandhi lived from 1917-1930 and began the salt march.
- After independence, it was converted into a memorial designed by Charles Correa and inaugurated in 1963 by Prime Minister Nehru.
- Correa's design followed the casual, winding layout of villages. The five interior rooms containing the museum collection are arranged around an open courtyard, using local materials like brick, wood, and stone in a contemporary regional style.
Center of contermporary arts, cincinnati
The Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati is the first new art museum built in Cincinnati since 1880. An international competition was held to design the museum, and Zaha Hadid was selected as the winning architect. Her design features stacked volumes that contrast with neighboring blocks and impose density through dissolution and dispersion. The ground floor lobby is highly transparent and open, intended to blend the interior with the exterior city street. A grand suspended staircase provides access to the six floors of gallery space above, which are closed off from windows and have concrete exterior walls that can flexibly accommodate different exhibits.
Sabarmati Ashram
Charles Correa designed the Sabarmati Ashram Museum in Ahmedabad, India to follow the principles of Mahatma Gandhi. The museum buildings are arranged in a casual meandering pattern around a central courtyard, with five rooms used to display important artifacts. Correa used local materials like brick, wood, and tile and a simple post-and-beam structure to house the collection in a way that maintained light, ventilation, and connection to the outdoors as per Gandhi's wishes. The design and placement of buildings within the site also aligns with principles of ancient Indian architecture like Vaastu.
Kanchanjunga apartments
This document summarizes the Kanchanjunga Apartments building project in Mumbai from 1970-1974. It was designed by architect Charles Correa and consists of 27 floors of housing units. Key features include orienting the building along an east-west axis to catch sea breezes, providing each apartment with a double-height garden terrace for protection from sun and rain, and interlocking 32 different apartment designs ranging from 3-6 bedrooms. The concrete structure utilizes cantilever beams and brick masonry, drawing inspiration from traditional Indian bungalow designs to create a modern high-rise development suited for the local climate.
Kanchenjunga Apartments- A Case Study
The Kanchanjunga Apartments, designed by Charles Correa, are a direct response to the present culture, the escalating urbanization, and the climatic conditions for the region. They pay homage to the vernacular architecture that once stood on the site before the development in a number of ways. More on Kanchanjunga Apartments after the break.
