Central Library, Baroda : A Warehouse for Books

The studio examined the relationship between construction practices and the materiality of the Central Library, Baroda. The library was read as a key historical resource and every aspect surrounding the building was researched and a dossier was prepared. A sectional perspective drawing was made which revealed a better understanding of the construction of the building. Information from archival sources were translated into drawings. The final module was to write an exhibition proposal for a grant. The exhibition proposal aims at looking at the reference section intricately to understand the presence of industrial ideas in Baroda in the early 20th century.
