ReplyDeleteHi Savitha, Thanx for the link
ReplyDeleteA celebration of Correa's work at RIBA was overdue. Hope we have a better appreciation of works by Indian Architects now that the economic focus of the world has shifted to BRIC countries
ReplyDeleteWorks of MASTERS are always a guiding factor and should be referred often.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit confused to be glad or sad, Charles Correa decided to donate all his works to RIBA because he thinks it cannot be preserved here in India.
