The Library building in Naval Academy, Kerela by Anant Raje had to be relocated at MICA Institute, Ahmedabad. The studio intended to  redesign the building keeping in mind the ideologies of Anant Raje, climatic response and construction techniques. As response to the context, the form of the building was changed from cylindrical to an orthogonal form. Following the language of Mica Institute, the building was exposed brick and concrete. The building was divided into 2 parts: inner core and outer skin. The structural system was changed from load bearing to frame structure to reduce the material used.
