IIM Bangalore is located in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. It is situated on a 100-acre campus in a hilly area to the south of Bangalore. The campus was designed by architect B.V. Doshi to reflect the design of Fatehpur Sikri, with a network of corridors, courtyards, and external spaces. The design uses local materials like exposed concrete and granite, and incorporates green spaces like courtyards to promote academic exchange beyond classrooms. It achieves natural illumination through skylights while controlling sunlight and heat through pergolas and roofs.

2. Geographical Location
Bangalore lies in the southeast of the South Indian
state of Karnataka.
It is in the heart of the Mysore Plateau (a region of
the larger Precambrian Deccan Plateau) at an
average elevation of 900 m (2,953 ft).
Located at 12°58′N 77°34′E / 12.97°N 77.56°E and
covers an area of 741 km2 (286 sq mi).

3. Geographical Conditions.
The topology of Bangalore is generally flat, though the western
parts of the city are hilly. The highest point is Vidyaranyapura
Doddabettahalli, which is 962 meters (3,156 feet) and is situated
to the north-west of the city.
No major rivers run through the city, although the Arkavathi and
South Pennar cross paths at the Nandi Hills, 60 kilometers (37
miles) to the north.

4. Climatic Conditions.
• Tropical savanna climate with distinct wet and dry
seasons.
• Due to its high elevation, Bangalore usually enjoys a
more moderate climate throughout the year, although
occasional heat waves can make summer somewhat
uncomfortable.
• Winter temperatures rarely drop below 14 °C (57 °F),
and summer temperatures seldom exceed 36 °C (97 °F).

7. IIM Bangalore
The 54,000 sq mt IIM B complex, built on a 100-acre campus, is based on the design of the town of Fatehpur
Sikri, laid out by Akbar in the 16th century. The architect, B V Doshi, achieved this vision by linking a network of
corridors, courtyards and external spaces allowing for future extensions.

8. Design Concept.
Fatehpur Sikri’s courtyards and the gardens of Bangalore merged in B V Doshi’s mind’s eye. He picked up the
gardens and put them in the courtyards, and the vision for a ‘glocal’ campus was born. Instead of courtyards
that are dry and rigid, he made green corridors, which allow for academic exchanges to be carried beyond the
classroom.

10. The Structure.
The design of IIMB reflects the architect’s perfect sense of scale, proportion and light.
From the logo that portrays the rays of the rising sun to the design of the IIMB complex, light
plays a crucial role.

12. The Structure.
IIMB’s design therefore symbolizes a deep understanding of the past
and a comfortable relationship with the present. The aim, said B V
Doshi, was “to create an atmosphere where you don’t see divides and
doors”.
The ‘building’ includes external spaces, and the links between the
buildings in the Bangalore climate permit academic exchange beyond
the classrooms.
The functional and physical attributes of its design are related to the
local traditions of pavilion-like spaces, courtyards, and ample
provision for plantations.
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.
A perfect blend of modern and traditional architectural style.

13. The Structure.
The construction of the
entire complex is made
simple and standardized
using exposed concrete,
lattices, frames, and
wall system using rough
blocks of local gray
granite.
Local craftsmen worked on
it with local material; it is low
on maintenance; the building
is cool and light is controlled.

14. The Structure.
Access to classrooms and administrative offices is provided through these corridors.
The design offers students and faculty the ability to see and feel nature even when inside the classroom.

15. The Structure.
The IIMB campus was envisaged as a place to be inhabited, as a place to facilitate the course of human
interaction.
The design therefore conserves energy – human or mechanical, optimizes technologies, adopts innovative ways
of building and uses alternative materials.

16. The Structure.
Three-storied hallways, open quadrangles with ample area for greenery, a rough texture finish are the unique
features of this ‘glocal’ design.

17. The Structure.
The voids in the structure lets in the fresh air from the green surroundings.
The pergolas and geometrical roofs let in the controlled ‘Sun Light’ creating a dramatic effect and eventually avoiding the excess heat from
entering in.

20. Sky Lights.
Natural illumination is achieved due to provision of ‘Sky Lights’ and also saves lots of electricity.
Creates a dramatic effect by highlighting a certain area.
