Charles Correa :A tribute to the master - Vol.86(9), Sep - Mumbai The Indian Institute of Architects 2021 - 43-48p.
Charles Correa was not only arguably the most significant
contemporary architect of Asia, he was much more - a humanist,
a socialist, a philosopher, a thinker, an activist, a protagonist
and a teacher - all at the same time. His evolution is the story
of a seeker who set out on a ritualistic pathway in search of
truth. As he progressed and made his way through uncharted
territory, pointers and revelations led him onto comprehensive
understandings of man and his context. By context he
understood both the manifest and the non-manifest worlds. He
tried throughout his life, in thought and action and through
his life’s works to bridge the two worlds like a yogi.
Correa was born in Secunderabad and grew up in Bombay.
He went to St. Xavier’s School and later St. Xavier’s College
before travelling to USA for his higher studies.
