Sometimes the predecessor is so strong that any structure falls into the shadow; i.e. of the Aga Khan hospital Complex. The Aga khan Clinic situated in Clifton residential area sets itself apart both from neighboring surroundings and also from its alma-meter. It is definitely an off shoot of the main complex but still retains it identity. The horizontally and low lying structure is its first and fore most difference from the main complex albeit the staircase. Though there are echoes from the past in its subtle detailing and the main staircase but that’s where the similarity ends. The architect in question here is Samar Ali Khan, who has never before undertaken any such project that is a clinic of this category nor any Aga Khan project. But this is primarily the main reason for the infusion of freshness and innovative detailing, though still relating to the older main complex.
