Bangalore lies in southeastern Karnataka, India. The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) campus was designed by architect B.V. Doshi on 102 acres of undulating land. Doshi designed the campus based on the Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri, with a network of courtyards, corridors, and external spaces linked together. The site was divided into northern and southern zones, with the southern zone containing the academic buildings wrapped in greenery to reduce noise and provide privacy. Doshi's design integrated climatic factors, vegetation, and indoor-outdoor spaces to create a campus that blended modern functionality with traditional Indian architectural influences.

• He made green corridors, which allow for
academic exchanges to be carried beyond
the classroom.
• A good integration of climatical factors ,the
‘Sun Path diagrams’, and proper
implementation of ‘Vastu Shashtra’ was
one of the best qualities of B.V.Dodhi’s
architecture.

architectural style.
MATERIALS USED

is made simple and standardized using
exposed concrete, lattices, frames, and
