Made in India
By Riyaz Tayyibji
The architecture of Ahmedabad ranges from the ancient to the very modern, from the Mughals to the last works of the contemporary Indian architects, including Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn. It is now one of the centres of modern and contemporary design (and also the home of the 2018 edition Pritzker prize, architect B.V. Doshi) and has a prominent university campus, along with Mahatma Gandhi’s Sabarmati Ashram on the riverbank. In addition, the historic walled city of Ahmedabad has been the first city in India to be Inscribed in UNESCO’s World Heritage City list of 2017.

Readers reviews
We have been and remain frequent visitors to India, and as architects fascinated by its history, culture, architecture and urbanism. Altrim’s dedicated guides for Chandigarh and Ahmedabad fill a huge gap in the market, providing bespoke self guided walking tours, with detailed information, photos and plans. The walks we have taken based on the books have introduced us to people, owners, history, design, culture and architecture. That such beautifully presented books could, and continue, to do this, time after time, speaks volumes about the dedication and content that has gone into creating them. There is nothing quite like them in India, or indeed elsewhere in Europe or North America. Truly unique, indispensable, everlasting, essential.
