Sanskar Kendra City Museum Ahmedabad
Le Corbusier
Restoration and revitalization by Vastu Shipa Foundation
City Museum at Sanskar Kendra is an institution to nurture and restore the values, ethos, pride and aspirations of the city and its citizens. A cultural node of a city with living heritage, the museum is conceived as an event-an experience that Itcreates the pulse of
the vibrant city of Ahmedabad and its enterprising people.
Concerns: To restore the architectural heritage; to nurture traditional values; and to conserve the cultural ethos.
Context: Ahmedabad is, arguably, the only city in the world after Paris to possess four architectural edifices of the internationally acclaimed modem master Le Corbusier.

Structure and finishes had eroded due to neglect and abuse. Also eroded in the process of commercialization were the socio-cultural values of a traditional city.
