Torrent Research Center
Ahmedabad, India
This complex of research laboratories was designed to provide human comfort within the building, with minimum use of electrical energy or mechanical appliances. A technique, based on passive ventilation and evaporative cooling, was developed and tested with a pilot laboratory before being applied to the ensemble. The result is the dramatic ventilation towers which are the project's distinctive feature.
