INTRODUCTION Geeta Mandir Bus Terminals is a unique adaptive

reuse project – one of the first of its kind in India’s infrastructure sector – and includes the redevelopment of an existing bus terminal located in the heart of the Ahmedabad.

In close proximity to the historic Pol area (also called the old city), the development has two components: a bus terminal facility, and a mixed-use saleable area to be operated and maintained by Hubtown Limited for a period of 30 years.

The form is inspired by the notion of constant movement. The facade design creates a strong horizontal expression, with continuous shadow lines holding the forms together and connecting to existing context, thus accentuating the idea of movement.

Geeta Mandir Bus Terminals is a transit-oriented development (TOD) under a public-private partnership (PPP) project between Gujarat State Road and Transport Corporation and Hub town Limited.
