Ahmedabad University Centre / Stephane Paumier Architects

May 31, 2023 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The brief for the Ahmedabad University Centre was created organically with the University Board as a hub for the in-between hours of formal teaching. The aim was to create a center that would become an incubator for academic life and a place for generating new ideas by creating interactive spaces besides formal educational functions. Being located at the vehicular entrance with underground parking, it also acts as a gateway between the city and the pedestrian university campus. The culture of street food is crucial to the fabric of Ahmedabad and student life, it was essential to design the food court as an extension of the street, leading to a food street at ground level. Inspired by the exciting bridge, Galata Koprusu, that links Galata to Eminonu in Istanbul and has a string of restaurants below and views on the Golden Horn, the three verandahs opening to the park can also be used for music performances while sitting under the trees.

St. Joseph’s Institution now a university was founded in 1882 by the Fathers of the French Foreign Mission. In 1937, the college was handed over to the “Society of Jesus”, a catholic religious order dedicated to the education of young people. The design of the new building was largely influenced by four major factors – the tight urban space allotted for construction, the strong heritage and history of the campus, the young and vibrant user group, and the program.
