印度管理学院(Indian Institutes of Management)由Louis I. Kahn于1962年至1974年间在艾哈迈达巴德设计，该建筑被认为是他的成熟作品之一，也是他所构思的最大的建筑之一。一开始，Louis I. Kahn只是这个项目的顾问，尽管如此，对他来说，该项目仍然是一个巨大的考验。因为它需要对一个国家的一个“偏僻”的建筑工地进行管理，而他对这个国家的传统和方法并不熟悉，比如独立后的印度（1947年）。这些问题都是他从来没遇到过的。本书回顾了路易斯·康形成的工作方法，强调了他对建筑细节的执着，这些细节决定了没有包层的建筑的整体形状。IIM对各个阶段的关注也成为近年来的当务之急，因为在施工现场完工后仅几年，墙体就开始出现了退化的苗头，至今仍未解决。269张插图。

Designed by Louis I. Kahn in Ahmedabad between 1962 and 1974, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) is considered to be one of his mature works and one of the most monumental buildings he conceived. Initially involved only as a consultant, this project challenged him with new and unparalleled questions concerning the management of a "remote" construction site in a country where he was not familiar with tradition and methods such as India in the aftermath of its independence (1947). The reconstruction in detail of the multifaceted events of the design of the architectural complex, made it possible to highlight the significance that the IIM assumed within the broader cultural policy initiated by the Indian government and the different roles played by the protagonists involved. In particular, it retraced the working method developed by Kahn, underlining his obsessive attention to the construction details which define the overall shape of the buildings that were left with no cladding. The IIM's focus on the various phases has also become a matter of urgency in recent years, since only a few years after the completion of the construction site the walls have begun to show the first signs of degradation which remain unsolved still today. 269 illustrations
