Charles Correa Memorial I NGMA, New Delhi I 27 June 2015 at 6:00 pm
Charles Correa 1930-2015
The NGMA family is deeply saddened with the demise of Shri Charles Correa, one of the most eminent Indian Architects of his generation, on 16th June 2015.
His work has had an enormous influence on India’s post-independence urban landscape. His work is reflective, often provocative and always profound mediation on India’s cities, the culmination of a lifetime of studying the urban landscape. I would like to mention one of his quotes, “Our habitat is not created in a vacuum. It is the compulsive expression of believes and aspirations that are central to own life”. This reflects on the rich reservoir of India’s beliefs that can be brought together to harness the dynamic energies of our cities, to create environment that are plural and inclusive while not losing any of their synergy. His passing away is a great loss to the family and to the large group of admirers and friends to whom he gave his best.
Inspired by the interdisciplinary creative sensibilities of most important architects of Modern India, the NGMA continues its endeavors to acknowledge architecture as a holistic, artistic and creative expression. Charles Correa’s architectural legacy will be forever remembered.
The nation mourns the loss.
