Architecture
The IIMB campus was designed by celebrated architect B V Doshi. The campus is a destination and a pilgrimage for students of architecture and practising architects, with the architecture of the academic and administrative blocks becoming a case study. Completed in 1983, the original stone architecture is now complemented by the greenery, just as B V Doshi had intended.
Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) Campus Architecture
The difference between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ is blurred when it comes to this particular building. Bangalore is (was?) known for its greenery, parks and gardens. The mild climate is particularly suited for a variety of trees and there have been a number of saps planted over the years which are bearing the fruits even today.
When someone says the hallmarks of a top institute’s campus, what does it mean? It, in my opinion, means that the institute is representative of its students and the promise of their future. Institutes like IIM develop the next generation of innovators, inventors, thinkers, movers and shakers, strong individuals who will become the foundation of a country. It is not just because stone was in ‘fashion’ around the time that this building was designed, but also because stone is the ultimate symbol of strength.
Stone is used even today for all buildings which are seats of power, palaces or places of worship. It is built to last for a thousand years and even have ruin value, indicating to the future archeologists that something great once stood there. Very few buildings have combined modern architecture and traditional stone masonry the way IIM-B has. IIM-Bangalore campus is indeed a tribute to stone. The building was designed to accommodate the ‘changing and extensive academic program’ of the IIM-B. The large hallways with seating areas make forums where students can discuss and debate.
Some of the features of IIM-B are three storied hallways, open quadrangles with ample area for plants, ample sun light entering through pergolas, geometrical roofs and slits in the roof and rough texture finish. These features provide IIM-B distinctive characteristic which varies with time of the day and with the seasons. The stone texture allows the Climbing Ivy or Kalati (stone climber as called in Kannada) to grow to hug the wall, which adds to the already infinite greenery and is very suitable for Bangalore’s Climate.
Architecture of bangalore
1. Bangalore , is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka. Located on the Deccan Plateau in thesouth-eastern part of Karnataka, Bangalore is Indias third most populous city and fifth-mostpopulous urban agglomeration. Bangalore is well known as a hub for Indias information technologysector. It is among the top 10 preferred entrepreneurial locations in the world.
2. •Bangalore experiences 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 things very uncomfortable in the summer.•The coolest month is December with an average low temperature of 15.4 °C and the hottest month isApril with an average high temperature of 32.8 °C.• The highest temperature ever recorded in Bangalore is 38.9 ° and the lowest ever is 7.8 °C . Wintertemperatures rarely drop below 12 °C (54 °F), and summer temperatures seldom exceed 34–35 °C(<100 °F).• Bangalore receives rainfall from both the northeast and the southwest monsoons and the wettestmonths are September, October and August, in that order. The summer heat is moderated by fairlyfrequent thunderstorms, which occasionally cause power outages and local flooding.
3. VIDHANASOUDHA It is located in Bangalore, is the seat of the state legislature of Karnataka.It is an imposing building, constructed in a style sometimes described as Mysore Neo-Dravidian and incorporates elements of Indo- Saracenic and Dravidian styles. The construction was completed in 1956. The Vidhana Soudha has four floors above and one floor below ground level and sprawls across an area of 700 by 350 feet. It is the largest Legislative building in India. Its eastern face has a porch with 12 granite columns, 40 feet tall. Leading to the foyer is a flight of stairs with 45 steps, more than 200 feet wide. The central dome, 60 feet in diameter, is crowned by a likeness of the Indian national emblem. The cost of construction at that time was just 17.5 million (1.75 Crore) rupees. But presently, annual maintenance cost itself is more than 20 million rupees (which include repairs, painting, and other miscellaneous expenses).
