Charles Correa (1930-2015), visionary Indian architect, integrated tradition with modernity.
He pioneered affordable urban housing, believing architecture should drive social change. 'The role of the architect is to interpret the needs of society and translate them into built form.' #Architecture

Unseen Forces: The Dance of Structural Stability
Not all hinges cause instability. Not all connections ensure stability. Two frames, two outcomes—each revealing the subtleties of structural stability. One holds firm, the other fails. The details make all the difference.

Innovative Repair Saves Earthquake-Damaged Tower
66 Oxford Terrace, Christchurch, New Zealand
A building damaged by earthquake was repaired instead of demolished. The team transformed it into a rocking wall structure meeting modern seismic codes using damping devices and a post-tensioning system.

McConnell's Distillery
A Victorian-era Belfast prison from 1845 has been transformed into a whisky distillery, preserving original stone and cast-iron elements while adding modern steel features. The project shows how historic buildings can be adapted while maintaining their cultural value.

Mjøstårnet: A Wooden Skyscraper
Rising along Lake Mjøsa in Norway, this 85.4-meter tower stands as one of the tallest timber structures in the world. Using local wood and modern energy systems, Mjøstårnet exemplifies sustainable design.

Located on a rocky massif in the Serra do Moradal, the circular platform, made entirely of exposed reinforced concrete, is supported by a cantilever fixed to the rock. The circular structure appears suspended over the landscape & features two openings filled with walkable glass panels.
