How India’s push to modernise threatens its signature buildings
The IIM Ahmedabad complex designed by Kahn
You say to brick, “What do you want, brick?” Brick says to you, “I like an arch.” If you say to brick, “Arches are expensive and I can use a concrete lintel over an opening. What do you think of that, brick?” Brick says: “I like an arch.” Louis Kahn
This odd imaginary conversation with a brick was often used by American architect Louis Kahn to explain to students how they must use material around them to find inspiration. So the irony was not lost on anyone when Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A) director Errol D’Souza proposed the destruction of the Kahn-designed campus by describing the bricks as “second class” and having an “inbuilt efflorescence” (salt deposit on masonry).
Louis Kahn dormitories in Ahmedabad saved from demolition after global protests
Plans to demolish part of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad by architect Louis Kahn have been withdrawn following an international outcry.
The management school s board of governors yesterday announced it had abandoned plans to demolish a cluster of brick dormitories that forms part of the monumental campus.
In a letter announcing the decision, the board of governors acknowledged the impact of global protests against the proposed destruction of 14 of the 18 dormitory buildings. You have sought to remind us that the dormitories designed by Louis Kahn are a cultural legacy and that these buildings are to be seen as an integral part of the ensemble of buildings that constitute the campus, said the letter.

Around 500 former students had launched a digital protest by creating a WhatsApp group called ‘Save Louis Kahn’s IIMA’.
The Board of Governors of the business school in a letter on Friday announced that the earlier Expression of Interest (EoI) issued by the Institute stands withdrawn in the wake of feedback received from the stakeholders who did not agree with its decision to demolish the iconic buildings considering their heritage value.
“We are sensitive to the feedback from some stakeholders who are not in agreement with this approach. We are, therefore, withdrawing the Expression of Interest that was put out,” the Board of Governors stated in the letter issued on Friday.
