interconnected domes, covered with amosaicof tiles.[2]
On the inside, irregular tree-like columns support the
domes. It was earlier known as Hussain-Doshi ni Gufa.[2]
There are facilities for special painting exhibitions and for
projecting films. Gardens and acafare located
above ground.[2]
Etymology [edit]
The gallery is called gufa ("cave" inGujarati) because of its
resemblance to acave.[3]
It was known earlier as
Hussain-Doshi ni Gufa, after its architect, B.V. Doshi, and the
artist, M.F. Hussain. Later it was renamed after
the city ofAhmedabad, known locally as Amdavad.[4]
Development [edit]
The structure'scontemporary architecturedraws on ancient and
natural themes. The domes are inspired by the
shells oftortoisesand by soap bubbles. Themosaictiles on the
roof are similar to those found on the roofs of
theJain temples at Girnar, and the mosaic snake is fromHindu
mythology. The Buddhist caves
ofAjantaandEllorainspired Doshi to design the interior with
circles and ellipses, while Hussain's wall paintings
are inspired byPaleolithic cave art.[5]
The interior is divided by tree trunks or columns similar to
those found
atStonehenge.[4][6][7]

3/8
While visiting Ahmedabad, Hussain asked his friend Doshi to
design a permanent art gallery for the exhibition
of his works.[4]
Together they planned an underground structure capable of
withstanding the area's severe
summer heat.[8][9]
Computer-assistedplanning facilities were used to resolve the
structure's unorthodox design.[7][9][10]
A simple
floor of wiremeshandmortarwas used instead of a
traditionalfoundation.[5][7]
All the structure's components
are self-supporting, relieving stress by their ubiquitous
continuity.Ferrocement, only one inch thick, was used
for the undulating walls and domes in order to reduce
load.[7][9]
The cave was constructed by unskilled tribal
labourers using only hand tools.[10]
Brokenceramiccrockery[5]
and waste tiles were used to cover the domes'
exterior, which bears a transversal mosaic of a
snake.[2][7][9]
Work was carried out in two phases: the first was the
construction of the main cave as an underground art
gallery, while the second covered the surrounding structures
including the paving, the caf, and a separate art
gallery for exhibitions.[4]
Amdavad ni Gufa exterior
The gallery space is below ground level. A partially hidden
staircase leads to a circular door which opens into a
cave-like space. Though designed to display paintings, the cave
has no straight walls, instead using a
continuation of the curved dome structure which extends down to
the floor. The domes themselves are
supported by irregularly shaped inclined columns, similar to
those found in natural caves. They are also said to
resemble the trunks of trees.[1]
The entire design is made up of circles and ellipses.[4]
Light arrives though
snouts, creating spots of light on the floor which move around
as the day progresses, intended to create a
mystic atmosphere.
[4][5][7][8]
Art [edit]
Hussain used the gallery's walls as a canvas, painting on them
with bold strokes and bright colours. The
artwork depicts human figures and motifs of animals, including
his famoushorsefigures. He also decorated
features such as doors and evenair conditioners. The figures
were designed to resemble ancient cave
paintings in a modern environment. Hussain also placed a few
metal sculptures of human figures between the
inclining columns.[4]His largest work, Sheshnag(the divine
serpent), stretches over a length of 100 feet
(30 m).[8]
