About
Why this artist matters now
Charles Correa was an Indian architect and urban planner whose practice redefined modernism through engagement with climate, craft, and vernacular building traditions of the subcontinent. Working across residential, institutional, and civic projects from the 1950s onward, he integrated deep material knowledge with a rigorous formal vocabulary, designing everything from private houses to major cultural institutions. His work bridged the gap between international modernist abstraction and the specific environmental and social demands of postwar India, establishing a model for decolonial architectural practice that influenced generations across South Asia.
