Archival view of the concrete theatre

Ahmedabad, India

Premabhai Hall

For the Indian architect, a good theatre is an extension of the most active and creative part of a city, a place where artists meet and recreate a new image of life.

Designed as a public theatre, this largely concrete building houses an auditorium, vast interior corridors and public gathering spaces. Stairs and galleries cross tall voids, turning circulation into a stage of its own.
