The temple is dedicated to Lord Dharmanatha, the fifteenth Jain Tirthankar. The Hutheesing Temple was created a hundred and fifty years ago by hundreds of artisans during the time a terrible drought hit Gujarat State in India, compelling hundreds of skilled artisans to migrate to Ahmedabad in search of work. The only means of livelihood for these migrant artisans was the Hutheesing Temple which supported them for a period of years. The temple apart for its rich architectural is also known for rainwater harvesting structure. Gandhi Ashram Ahmedabad Mahatma Gandhi established this Ashram in 17 June 1917.

Signature of author Egg Shat ejpal Department of Architecture May 8,1987 Certified by 1~ lian Beinart Professor of Architecture Thesis Supervisor Accepted by \J Julian Beh, Chairman s%41ss4epartmental Committee for Graduate Students THEORY AND CITY FORM: The case of Ahmedabad by SHRADDHA SEJPAL Submitted to the Department of Architecture on May 8, 1987 in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Master of Science in Architecture Studies ABSTRACT The thesis seeks to formulate an approach to urban design intervention in the walled city of Ahmedabad, by first developing an understanding of the context. This is to be undertaken by applying the methodological tools suggested by two theories of city form, those of Kevin Lynch's "Theory of Good City Form" and N.J. Habraken's "Concept of Territory" which forms part of the book, "Transformationsof the Site." In applying two different theories together to the city, the study endeavors to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the city. The exercise of applying theories to the city, also provides way of evaluating the theories, and their efficacy as methods for observing cities.

  • CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background 1.1.1 the Historic City of Ahmedabad Is Amongst the Major Metropolitan Cities in India
    Chapter -1 : Introduction CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background 1.1.1 The historic city of Ahmedabad is amongst the major metropolitan cities in India. With the increasing opportunities for trade and commerce and as a center for higher education, the population of the city is already touching 6 million and this heavy growth continues. 1.1.2 The city, known as Ashapalli or Ashaval in ancient times, was founded by King Karnadeva Vaghela as Karnavati in 11th Century as capital of his kingdom. Later on Sultan Ahmed Shah of Gujarat Sultanate shifted his capital from Patan to Karnavati and renamed it as Ahmedabad in 1411 AD. A number of monuments built during his era are spread over the old city area. The walled city was also built during this era and its 12 gates are still existing though most of the wall can't be seen anymore. The city thrived as the capital of strong kingdom but later became part of the Moghul Sultanate in 1573. Shahjahan spent the prime of his life in this city and developed the present Shahi Baug area. The city was invaded by the Marathas in the year 1707 and ruled by them from 1753 AD to 1817 AD, when the city was taken over by the British. 1.1.3 During the British period the city became "Manchester of India" due to large scale manufacturing of textile. The first textile mill was set up in 1854 and more such mills followed soon after with rapid industrialization. However, the textile industry in the city is no more a force to reckon with, yet it is fifth largest producer of denim cloth in the world.
