Sangath is an architect's office and research center located in Ahmedabad, India designed by Balkrishna V Doshi in 1981. The building features a series of sunken vaults sheathed in china mosaic tiles as well as a small grassy terraced amphitheater and flowing water details to create a climate responsive design suited for Ahmedabad's hot and dry climate through the use of higher space volumes, reflective surfaces, water features, gardens, terraces, and underground volumes.
