Rahul uses the method of the Nolli plan (a brilliant interpretive drawing of Rome by Giambattista Nolli in 1748 , revealing the porosity of public space in both built and unbuilt forms ) to explore the spatial porosity of IIM Ahmedabad . The intensity of yellow is proportionate to the publicness. The library even though a built space, becomes the crux of the publicness in IIM
