HOLL'S PORT LUDLOW CHURCH IN AHMEDABAD, INDIA

Envisioned in 1991, Steven Holl's Port Ludlow Church (in Washington) was to be reimagined in Ahmedabad.The two striking forms merged together creates a very strong position in terms of its spatiality and conceptual idea. With the help of Holl's sketch relating its concept to the passage of time, the dichotomy between old and new, the massy and frame-like and the opaque and porous was imagined in the two structures which would behave independently but would work as a whole, as space. Two very distinct materials (stone and glass) with different properties and construction method were chosen to achieve this dichotomy.
