Interrelationship
between indoor and outdoor spaces
All matter is made up of light, and matter casts shadows, and the light and shadows make a space.

o
He establishes a hierarchy of
spatial organisation in that primary spaces are often centralised, whereas
secondary spaces are placed on the fringes
o
Focussing on functionality whilst
giving life to architecture
o
The materiality and method of
assembly of the building should be clear to anyone who sees it, this creates a
grander sense of weight and presence
o
Form did not necessarily follow
the function
o
"Each space should have its
own shape and form"
o
He juxtaposes both materials and
geometry, using not only conventional materials like concrete, but also using
timber in unexpected ways
o
"All matter is made up of
light, and matter casts shadows, and the light and shadows make a
space."
o
There is a relationship between
servant and served spaces, whereby servant spaces like stairways and corridors
facilitate the function of the served living spaces
o
Emphasis placed on strong
geometric forms of the building, which in turn dramatically influences its
relationship to light
Balkrishna Doshi
- Interrelationship
between indoor and outdoor spaces
- Drawing
in natural light through forms which in turn diffuses light and creates
ambiance
- Traditionally
geometric shapes are made to look new through materiality
- Brutalism
and ruggedness of raw materials such as brick and concrete
- "Landscape
is the primary architectural mediator, the ground and building are in
separable."
- Relates
his architecture to the history of his home country of India. Brutalist
form relates to the skilled craftsmen of his culture
- Flexible
rather than rigid approach to the structure
- Responding
to the tropical climate of the site
- The
use of columns to define a space
- The
Buddhist caves of Ajamta and Ellora inspired Doshi to design the interior
with circles and ellipses
- The
architecture features overlapping layers and transitional areas which
encourages fluid and adaptable living conditions, customary in Indian
tradition
