Center for DoCoMoMo International

DoCoMoMo is an international institute that aims at conserving and preserving architecture belonging to the modernist era and spreading awareness locally. We have to propose a hub for the institute in Ahmedabad which would make it  the first of its kind in the south-east Asian region. The institute needs to house a curator and the works of the institute documenting the architecture in the modern era. The aim is to manifest this 'handshake' between the institute and the architect to protect the w=body of work under him or her.
