Jennifer Lema (B.Arch): Atma Effect: : Sensitizing and Connecting the Creative Youth to the Millowner’s Building
“Now a vestige of the promises of modernity, Le Corbusier’s Ahmedabad Textile Mills Association (ATMA) recedes into a quiet oasis that sits in the heart of one of the most thriving cities in India. While the city flourishes around the site, developers knock on the door of one of the most sought-out sites in Ahmedabad. Intending to preserve the landmark, Mr. Abhinava Shukla, Secretary General of ATMA, and Jennifer collaborated on a plan that will intertwine the roots of the building with those of the creative youth. By revitalizing the building from inside out, it will not only survive the hunt for commercial real estate but will also become a junction for the people of Ahmedabad.”
