IIMA’s extension campus in India
IIMA wanted to create a new and independent 39-acre campus, which could extend the vision of the old campus designed by Louis Kahn. HCPDPM was awarded the project under a national competition.
The new campus is connected to the old iconic campus through an underpass, which houses an exhibition on Louis Kahn's work. Although the new campus has a separate access and exit, and functions independently from the old campus, this linking underpass is the pivot of the comprehensive development, binding the two different campuses together.
HCPDPM was posed with the challenge of designing a campus, which could function and exist as an independent entity apart from remaining as a joined component of an integrated development. HCPDPM has taken care to integrate elements that would deliberately attempt to make references to the old campus and provide continuities with it.
