raje in bhopal



the iifm with its precise stone and concrete framing the sky / water / nature in geometric perfections makes erotic the boundary between the stable and the fluid. when architecture is reduced almost to its most fundamental structure it evokes its own degeneration. time is held in the exacting squares and circles and allowed to spill through the unfinished corners. but here too everyday life has permeated this transcendental ambition. arcades are enclosed with toilets, slabs have been added in the library slicing the triple heighted atrium, and a filmy set styled bridge spans across the waterbody that faces the dusk.























similar scenes at the bda offices where the precise architectonic muscularity is blurred as bureaucracy and apathy adds staircases awkwardly and as the workings of the offices disregard the architecture.
