GANDHI ASHRAM, AHMEDABAD

LOCATION:

The Sabarmati Ashram is located along the west bank of the Sabarmati River onAshram Road, in the north of the city.



CONTEXT:

The Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya provide example of combining the Hinduarchitectural/ cosmological idea of isotropy and Modernist functional planning.

The concept of isotropy (similar to fractals) refers to an infinitely scalable structureand can be seen in the repetition and manipulation of the decorative elements inHindu temples.In the Smarak Sangrahalaya, the modular pavilion unit is designed for easyextension and emphasizes the accumulation of a single element to make a whole.Correa placed five distinctly programmed interior spaces within the asymmetrical gridplan.The plan of the museum has also been compared to village houses in India's Banniregion.Instead of a single volume, the houses consist of five huts each with a different

function, which surround to make a courtyard.The inhabitants walk back and forth across the outside space to use the differentrooms.

HOUSE PLAN IN BANNI VILLAGE



SPACES:

The site on the Sabarmati River bank is part of the larger ashram complex and isintegrated into its gardens.

Five interior rooms contain the collection of the museum.The rooms are enclosed by brick walls and wooden louvered screens.All five rooms are part of the 6m square module.

Correa’s subtle changes of the enclosure allow for variety in the module’s lighting,temperature, and visual permeability.A square, uncovered shallow pool is located between the five rooms.

CONSTRUCTION:

The museum uses a simple but delicately detailed post and beam structure.Load bearing brick columns support concrete channels, which are both support the

woodenroof and direct rainwater.Boards are nailed underneath the joists and tiles are placed atop the joints.The foundation is concrete and is raised about a foot from the ground.The monumental and archetypal structure of the museum recalls the well-knownwork of Louis Kahn, who began two projects in the region shortly a fter Correa’smuseum was built.Wooden doors, stone floors, ceramic tile roofs, and brick columns are the palette ofthe building.
