Underlying the process of architectural design, climatology is prominently taken into consideration. Premal Jyoti, located in Ahmedabad which faces hot and dry climate; high temperature, low humidity and intense solar radiation. Its form, orientation, landscaping, open and semi-open spaces, sun-breakers, building material, openings, responds to climatic aspects positively. Therefore the building demonstrates the scientific value. Chapel in the complex is utilitarian. The usage of skylights and louvered windows, volume and finishing evokes spiritual value. The finesse of detailing, selection of materials and directness of expression, assures it a place among the pioneers of modern architecture in Ahmedabad.
