As a campus grows, both its enclosed and open spaces gather memories transforming ‘space’ into ‘place’ with stories, character, and meaning. The IIM B campus, conceived and executed by architects B.V. Doshi and Achyut Kanvinde with subsequent additions by Sanjay Mohe & Medappa, exemplifies how enduring design fosters a sense of place. The book shares how IIM B campus came into being and how it has been experienced over time. Through its pages, the book reveals the thought processes, design philosophies, and the interplay between architecture and community. Using the book as a starting point, this session will explore how spaces with memories transcend functionality and time, becoming places of meaning and identity.
