View of the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, India. "The organization of the complex, as well as its architecture, reflects the conceptual organization of learning which is focused on three inevitable components: the school, the students, and the teachers, which constitute 'The Indian Institute of Management'...Thus, man's philosophy about his environment is contained here through the otherwise rarely achieved response between condition of program and plastic emphasis of the structures; the latter extending from the sudden vibration of light on the lowered arches spanning the concrete cord to the gesture of full arches, and them of the round openings with their curved shades, all maintained within the strict discipline of construction, spatial dimensioning, and plan organization,"--Yukio Futagawa, ed. with Romaldo Giurgola, text. Global Architecture: Louis Kahn: Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India, and Exeter Library, Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire. p 2, 4.
