ABOUT THE ARCHITECT

Combining Traditional Values with Modernist Design Correa's early work combined traditional architectural values - such as the bungalow with its veranda and the open-air courtyard - with the Modernist use of materials that were popularized by figures like Le Corbusier. He was highly renowned for his thoughtful urban planning, as he was particularly sensitive to the needs of the urban poor and for his utilization of traditional methods and materials.

He was especially adept at blending traditional architecture with modern design, as he was able to create a unique style that incorporated the best of both worlds.
