ARCHITECTURE

Intelligent and responsive architecture is all about the spaces/ architectural elements that have the ability to respond intelligently to the exterior and interior environment and to users’ needs.

Well-known architect and an industrialist, Shri. Gautam Sarabhai has designed this insightful architecture of B M Institute of Mental Health.

The two separate buildings spread across banks of river Sabarmati have a unique architectural ambience. This spacious and disabled-friendly campus accommodates green space with natural light and cooling effects with a good deal of wood. This gives the place an earthy feel and leaves a calming effect on the minds of the visitors.
