This is Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad, India. It's beloved in the city of 8 million people as a much-needed spot to gather outdoors, exercise, and hang out. Designed by Indian architects Charles Correa and Mahendra Raj and completed in 1965, it was built in the modern architecture style following a period of postcolonial economic and social growth. The stadium’s cantilevered roof is nearly 65 feet high. It was perhaps the first time a roof of this kind and scale was attempted anywhere in the world. It is 55 years old now and showing signs of physical degradation. Last year, Getty awarded a grant to fund the care and restoration of the stadium so it can continue to serve the community for years to come.
