dc.description | Planned as a center for dissemination of Gandhian philosophy, Gandhi Bhawan was to contain a library, a seminary room and a lecture hall. The choice of the building form was symbolic and emerged as an introverted, centrifugal one, wherein each of the three major functions - though contained in separarately articulated wings - were linked together through interpenetrating volumes meeting at a central, sky-lit exhibtiion space. | en_US |
