CONVERSATIONS WITH CHARLES CORREA: A Critical Review on Six Decades of Practice

‘Like the trail that a snail leaves in its wake as it inches forward, so over the years an architect leaves behind a body of work, generated by the attitudes he gradually accumulates towards the agenda he deals with: climate, building materials, structural systems, functional requirements, and so forth.’ (Charles Correa, in his essay ‘Snail Trail’, 2013)

After having the past two editions online, this year, we hosted the conference in-person at The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), in his city – Bombay! The conference reflected upon Charles Correa’s six decades of practice, bringing together scholars and professionals to discuss different facets of his work: his buildings, his ideas on urbanism, his writings on cities, and his role in the debates on architecture in India and globally.

The Charles Correa Foundation team wishes to thank all the speakers, delegates, volunteers, and the vendors that helped make the conference uniquely engaging and thought-provoking!
