Hussain Doshi Gufa
The Hussain-Doshi Gufa is an
underground art gallery, exhibiting the works of great Indian sculpture
and painter, M.F. Hussain. The Gufa lies within the vicinity of Center
for Environmental Planning and Technology. It has a 25mm thin shell
structure, supported by retaining boundary walls and sloping internal
organically shaped columns.
This structure is a result of ferro - cement techniques and has been
carried out with simple hand tools by unskilled workers. The marvel of
contemporary architecture was built with the computer aided designs and
hard work of tribal workers. The Gufa was decorated and designed by
famous architect B. V. Doshi and hence called Hussain-Doshi Gufa.
