Kala Academy, Panaji, Goa

The Charles Correa Foundation held its second Z-Axis Conference entitled ‘Buildings As Ideas’. The theme of the conference was based on what Correa believed – that buildings are ideas that manifest and take form.

The conference, which drew 1,000 delegates, represented the spectrum of Correa’s interests and engagements – from the design of institutional buildings and a range of public projects to questions of housing and urbanization. The speakers, drawn from around the globe, especially the Global South, presented their work to demonstrate the different modes of practice across varying geographies. Also included in the conference were the voices of architectural critics, editors, and curators.
