Le Corbusier / Villa Shodan




I was told that when he was young, in order to get to his bedroom on the first floor, Mr. Shodan used to climb the ramp riding on the back of his horse. Now he gets to his bedroom with an elevator that he installed few years ago. With all these architectural tourists coming to spy and to take photos, he must regret the day he gave the job to LC. It has been years that he would not let anybody in; whenever someone comes, the servant draws the curtain.

Dérive Ahmedabad 2012 - Work & travel

 After touring Ahmedabad as tourists, we wanted to experience the city on the flip side - selling products and services to the local people.
The rules for the derive were to go to places where we think we can earn money, not to stay in one place for more then an hour and not to stay where we do not earn money.
