Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: First propositioned by the Government of India in the early
1970s, each of the then 21 Indian States (1970) were to set up
an ‘India House’ or ‘Bharat Bhavan’ in an effort to patronise
and promote the local arts and culture that formed the core of
India’s identity and character. Under this scheme, the Bharat
Bhavan in Bhopal, designed by Charles Correa, was the first
and only such cultural centre to have been built under this
scheme back then. The competition brief explored this very
theme and invited architects and students to submit ideas and
interpretations for a 21st century Bharat Bhavan—a centre for
the arts in today’s growing and contemporary context. The
participants were also allowed to work on a site of their choice.
