11. Philosophies:
As per our understanding from the above case study we hereby
conclude that: Charles correa created climate responsive projects &
Parekh house & Ramakrishna house was the perfect implication of
his climate responsive ideology.
•Charles correa was very found of Indian heritage so he took
inspiration from various Indian monuments or heritage buildings
Bharat Bhawan is one of the example of his one such ideology .
• Concepts like vastu purush mandala & nav graha were successfully
implicated by him in his many projects One such example being
Gandhi samarak sanghralaya & Jawaharlal kala Kendra.
His major philosophies were: Incremental housing Use of local
materials for his structure Pluralism
