There's an old gag that runs like this.
'How do you know someone's from IIMA? '
'He'll tell you.'

Well, this is me telling you. But with some reason, I hope. No brag, humble or otherwise, intended. Every institute needs people to populate the left end of its bell curve too. +

@OurIIMAHeritage @Hiddenheritage @nayaraman @IIMAhmedabad @KaranSB @pal_gauravi @ChinmayTumbe @sanjeev_amplus @rohitvarma @RajinderKhazan1 @rashmibansal @ssaalliill @a_tishi Ugly concrete monoliths. Insult to #LouisKahn to claim that his narrative has been extended. Space outside rooms in the old dorms enabled bonding with hangouts, rems, parties. Narrow corridor outside rooms in new dorms (like hotels) detracts from this philosophy.#SaveIIMAHeritage

IIMA's red bricks are part of its brand identity. An iconic Louis Kahn legacy in the Indian subcontinent. Deliver safety and preserve legacy by rebuilding the same design (so align tender specs). If possible for dorms 15-18, why not for dorms 1-14? @IIMAhmedabad @ArchDaily

[Together For IIMA @OurIIMAHeritage]

IIMA to tender for architects to design new buildings on the land occupied by Dorms 1-14. Why throw the baby out with the bathwater? If structures are weak get best civil engineering firms to #ReplicateLouisKahn design @proferroldsouza
