The father of modern architecture Le Corbusier and the most influential architects of the 20th century Louis Kahn will not find place in the latest heritage conservation list of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
Ahmedabad happens to be the only place in the world where Le Corbusier had designed four different buildings. Louis Kahn's IIM-A building too does not figure in the list of heritage buildings.
— Times of India
"The list, which consists of 2,247 buildings and havelis in the walled city and 382 buildings outside the walled city area, will be notified in a day or two. Inclusion in the list will mean that the new conservation building bye laws would now be applicable."

They, the architects did not spend much time to study the people, way of life and habits of Indians before designing monsters in a foreign unfamiliar land. Corbu had so many portals open to the birds and spiders, the government had to install chicken nettings a;; over.
Bullshit, Madigan. These buildings are pretty much some of the few good pieces of architecture in Ahmedabad. I grew up there.
sameolddoctor, have you been to Chandigudh?
So keep your bullshit to your self, if you cannot be polite. Thank you.
