Unbuilt Correa
Titled ‘Buildings as Ideas: The Unbuilt Works of Charles Correa’, the exhibition and an extensive catalog was first presented and published by the Charles Correa Foundation in 2016 at the Gallery MMB, Max Muller Bhavan at Kala Ghoda, Mumbai. The exhibition, curated by Nondita Correa Mehrotra and designed by Ratan J Batliboi Consultants was open to public for two months. In the gallery space, a sweeping timeline that captured the prolific oeuvre of Charles Correa on one wall, and a selection of projects on the other, sandwiched seven ‘lineages’ – tables with a curated collection of projects that represented a unique idea-thread pulled out from the body of work. The study-exhibition and the catalog commemorated the significance of intellectual content in the work of Charles Correa. A reprint of the catalog, designed with minor edits and additions was published in 2017 at the Z-Axis International Conference.
