Abstract

The master of Indian modern architecture Charles Correa (1930-2015) built a modern work rooted in the tradition and the cultural landscape of India. His work evokes the cultural imagination through abstraction, reconciles the local with the universal and defends the Indian identity. The architecture of Charles Correa is the result of a constant transformation of the deep structures of the past as the basis of the project from the principles of climate adaptation to the reinterpretation of spatial archetypes of the historical background.
