印度阿默达巴德纺织厂总部大楼

Le Corbusier受纺织厂业主协会委托，设计了该纺织企业位于印度Ahmedabad的总部大楼，Ahmedabad是印度历史上活跃于纺织贸易的城市。该建筑是一个物理宣言，代表了Le Corbusier的现代印度建筑方案。

Le Corbusier was commissioned by the Textile Mill Owners association to design the company's headquarters in Ahmedabad, India's historic textile trading city. The building is a physical manifesto that represents le Corbusier's architectural scheme for modern India.

当Le Corbusier开始在温暖的环境中工作时，他开发了一套适应气候和文化背景的建筑装置。他从印度的乡土建筑中汲取灵感，模仿了深邃的暴露、悬挑的壁架、遮阳屏风和宏伟的廊柱大厅。他引入遮阳板，旨在防止阳光穿透立面，并将其与加厚的立面和未完成的混凝土结合在他后来的许多项目中。这栋建筑被充足的开放空间包围，没有被迫与现有的城市结构相抗衡，允许建筑师提出一个明显的现代美学。

When Le Corbusier began working in warm environments, he developed a set of architectural installations adapted to the climate and cultural context. Drawing inspiration from India's vernacular architecture, he mimics the deep exposure, overhanging ledges, shading screens and grand colonnaded halls. He introduced a visor designed to prevent sunlight from penetrating the facade and combined it with the thickened facade and unfinished concrete in many of his later projects. Surrounded by ample open space,the building was not forced to compete with the existing urban structure, allowing the architects to present an obvious modern aesthetic.

该建筑位于西边的Ashram路和东边的Sabarmati 河之间。南北两面的侧墙几乎是空白的，表面是粗糙的石头，外面是砖块。西侧立面的砖底是斜向的，以阻挡来自街道的视野，同时允许空气和间接阳光进入空间。

The building sits between Ashram Road to the west and the Sabarmati River to the east. The side walls, to the north and south, are nearly blank and faced in rough stone with a brick exterior. The brises-soleil on the west facade are oriented diagonally to obstruct views from the street while permitting air and indirect sunlight to enter the space.

植物从多孔的外墙溢出，激活了裸露的混凝土并补充了屋顶花园。在建筑的后部，桥底与外墙垂直，允许来自河流的微风不受阻碍地穿过阴影的周边。在这里，Le Corbusier设计的开口框住了下面河流的景色。

Plants spill from the porous facade, activating the exposed concrete and supplementing the roof garden. At the rear of the building, the brises-soleil are perpendicular to the facade, allowing the breeze from the river to pass uninhibited through the shaded perimeter. Here, Le Corbusier designed the openings to frame views of the river below.
