When Concrete Met Correa

The studio 'Theorizing Architectural Production' focused on decoding various aspects of the construction techniques of 12 buildings from the period 1930s to 1980s in Ahmedabad. Exploring modern architecture, the making of the buildings and various agencies involved during the construction processes, the piece 'When Concrete Met Correa' developed a critical analysis about the 'process of making' through the works of Charles Correa. Decoding his one specific work, the Gun House became the central evidence in order to explain the complexity of the architect's ideas and practice. Link to the Final Essay and Process Journal
