ABOUT THE CAMPUS PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE of IIMB

The IIMB campus was designed by Pritzker Prize winner architect B V Doshi. The campus is a destination and a pilgrimage for students of architecture and practicing architects, with the architecture of the academic and administrative blocks becoming a case study.

The design of IIMB reflects the architect’s perfect sense of scale, proportion and light. The aim, as described by Doshi himself, was “to create an atmosphere where you don’t see divides and doors”. The ‘building’ includes external spaces, and the links between the buildings in the Bangalore climate permit academic exchange beyond the classrooms. The functional and physical attributes of its design are related to the local traditions of pavilion-like spaces, courtyards, and ample provision for plantations. The Campus is a perfect blend of modern and traditional architectural style.
