# AHMEDABAD /// Lost Buckie

Few people might know that but Ahmedabad hosts a Geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller and which has been collapsing since then. Ruins are nevertheless still use and represent an interesting example of architecture of destruction.

# AHMEDABAD /// Corbu colonized by monkeys

The Ahmedabad Millowners Association Building was designed in 1952 by Le Corbusier. This building is not really used anymore, except by architecture amateurs who still visit it and...monkeys who seem to have so much appropriated themselves the top floor of the building that they are ready to fight if you cross their territory !

# House with Balls by Matharoo Associates

House with Balls is a house built outside Ahmedabad (see the previous posts about this city of Gujarat where Corbu, L.Kahn and B.Fuller have built) and designed by Matharoo Associates. Its name refers to the numerous concrete counterweights that open and close the heavy curtains which form the side wall of the house. Counterweights are always interesting to me in the continuous equilibrium they tend to achieve, thus creating a poetic suspension state that allows two heavy forces to acquire lightness.

thanks Martin!

# AHMEDABAD /// Louis Kahn's Indian Institute of Management

Indian Institute of Management designed by Louis Kahn in 1963. To see more, and it may sounds cliche but watch the very good movie My Architect by Nathanel Kahn.
