Charles Correa: Architect in India

Khan, Hasan-uddin

Charles Correa: Architect in India Khan, Hasan-Uddin; Cantacuzino, Sherban; Correa, Charles - 2008 - 1987 (Revised Edition)

Part of the "Architects in the Third World" series. Includes essays by Sherban Cantacuzino and Charles Correa.

Hasan-Uddin Khan's book is more than a mere showcase of buildings; it's a deep dive into the ideas that shaped Charles Correa's career. The book emphasizes Correa's philosophy of "open-to-sky space," which was a direct response to India's climate and cultural traditions. He masterfully blended modernist principles with local sensibilities, using elements like courtyards, verandas, and natural ventilation to create spaces that were both functionally modern and culturally rooted.
