LOCATION:
YEAR OF COMPLETION: 1963
ARCHITECT: CHARLES CORREA
Sitting next to the Gandhi Ashram and on the edge of Sabarmati River Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya is gem of building designed by architect Charles Correa. This building houses a permanent exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi and forms a part of the Ashram Complex. The building’s richness is a result of its bold simplicity and a perfect embodiment of Bapu’s philosophy. Exposed brick masonry, exposed concrete, kotah-stone flooring, mangalore tiles for roof and wood for doors-windows are the dominating materials in the palette. Architecturally the building can be looked at as an agglomeration of pavilions and verandahs formed around a central water court.
