PRINCIPLES

1. Transformation of Energy between the building and people using the space for functional use. The Energy takes place between the walls, columns and space of the building. 2. Doshi has persisted a deep belief in importance of ‘Human Institutions’, just as Louis-i-Kahn did before him. This belief, is amplified by his own deep cultural experience and popular evolution of new institutions.

PRINCIPLES

3. A more specific principle is to follow ‘flexible rather than rigid approach to the structure’. This is how transformation of space from the mere static container ; to a place where people actually feel a psychic interchange is best achieved. 4. The idea of flexibility leads him to a principle, of incorporating “symbolism”. He believes that it can only be accommodated by mixture of structural systems.
