Charles Correa is an Indian architect known for designing buildings that are adapted to local culture and climate. Some of his notable works include the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya memorial museum in Ahmedabad, built using local materials like brick and wood. He also designed the ECIL office complex in Hyderabad to minimize heat gain through deep overhangs and reflective membranes. Correa believed in minimal design using locally available materials and technologies.

Le Corbusier in his design of buildings in tropical climate wanted to make a ‘pact with nature’
unlike his earlier works of the cold climates where he was to ‘combat the nature’. Le Corbusier’s solar shading
strategy in Unit De Habitation and Capitol complex in Chandigarh are pioneering example for his approach
towards dealing with the harsh tropical climate.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Correa's work in India shows a careful
development, understanding and
adaptation of Modernism to a non-western
culture.
Correa's early works attempt to explore
a local vernacular within a modern
environment.
Correa's land-use planning and
community projects continually try to go
beyond typical solutions to third world
problems.

“CORREA FILLS THE ROLE OF ARCHITECT AS A COLLABORATOR
WITH THE PEOPLE. HIS DESIGNS GIVE THE LOCAL CRAFTSME A
CHANCE TO DO THEIR BEST WORK”.
-BRIAN CARTER, PROFESSOR
KEY TO CORREA’S APPROACH IS HIS
UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIQUE
CULTURAL REQUIREMENTS OF HIS
NATIVE COUNTRY.HE IDENTIFIES THE
HIERARCHICAL SYSTEM AS
CONSISTING OF FOUR MAJOR
ELEMENTS- SPACE NEEDED BY THE
FAMILY FOR PRIVATE USE,
NEIGHBOURHOOD SPACES AND
URBAN AREA OPEN SPACE USED BY
THE WHOLE CITY.

‘Vidhan Bhavan is a public building which should say something very
powerful about democracy, It is a building which has got to down with the
idea of governing yourself. It has to express the role it has to play and tell
people that this is your city, this is your state and you must participate in it, It
must not be low-key. It should have a presence.’
