Jamée Textile Factory

A factory and ancillary buildings arranged around a central courtyard. A main access road leads to the administration building which is oriented to the east; the factory building is placed on the same axis across the central courtyard. The restaurant and nursery and the clothes factory building respectively line the northern and southern sides of the courtyard. The factory building is based on a 7.5x7.5 m square grid, while internal brick partitions further subdivide the spaces in smaller areas. Brick is used throughout for both internal and external treatment, and is laid in simple geometric forms. Openings are deep-set in the external walls.Source: Aga Khan Trust for Culture
