The Mill Owners’ Association Building is a building designed by Le Corbusier in Ahmedabad, India. The building serves as headquarters for one of the country’s most prominent textile associations. This building is another concrete building by Le Corbusier that features the cell block style windows that are featured in the High Court of Punjab. In both of these buildings, LE Corbusier really kept in mind the climate of India and worked to create buildings that cooperated with it. It is clear that the Indian community supported Le Corbusier’s artistry.  This building is interesting to me because it almost seems just as welcoming as it does private. The long ramp leads the public into the entrance of the building but the block windows are set forward from the actual building so that lends some privacy to the building. I think that this building is really interesting. I have read that Le Corbusier paid great attention to detail in his buildings so I think it would be really cool to explore all of his buildings because I just know there is so much more to see within it than I can see from pictures.
