• The design of Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), Bhopal was inspired
by the concept of continuity.
• Institutions are self-contained entities, whose growth is nurtured by a process of
self-renewal through the various stages of their development.
• The magnificence of the clear sky is brilliantly
framed through the circular rings supported on
the arches , carefully and precisely as one would
stack cards.
• Instead of concrete being rendered into a
monolith , the facade displays a variety of
textures in concrete and stone.
• The building seems to be truly ahead of its time
and completely in compliance with Raje’s
philosophy of architecture which aimed at
simplicity and honesty.
