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.

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.

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.

Plan

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Structure.

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

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.

The Hallways

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.
