BUILDINGS AS IDEAS – THE UN-BUILT WORK OF CHARLES CORREA

“Buildings As Ideas – The Un-built work of Charles Correa” is available for reference at UDRI Resource Centre.

PREFACE

Charles Correa’s built projects are recognized for their ingenuity and conceptual clarity. However, a collection of his un-built work: competition entries, commissions and public projects, are rich repositories of his ideas and occupy a significant portion of his oeuvre. This Un-built work, though less well-known, contributed significantly to the clarity of his thought and design. Here we see the seminal idea intact, unhindered by the pragmatic force of the building process.
