During the 1970s, India wanted to build a space to celebrate arts and creativity in each of its state capitals. This feat was not accomplished to its entirety, but Charles Correa did design one of the shining jewels that came from the initiation: the Bharat Bhaven, which means “Indian House”. The building is located in Bhopal. Correa’s goal with the building was to tie in modern architecture and materials into Indian places, giving modern tastes a lace in India’s history. The building was completed in 1982 and is still used to this day. The building is used for cultural and artistic events. Like other works of Correa, this piece featured outdoor as well as indoor spaces. When first entering the property, visitors have the opportunity to walk down to a path around a lake or to a courtyard walkway. The plot consists of arts galleries, a tribal art museum, an auditorium, a library, a print shop, and a studio. This design is another example of Correa using both natural aspects like the lake and his designs to thread one idea.
