The Charles Correa International Lecture series in honor and memory of renowned Indian architect, activist and University of Michigan alumnus Charles Correa debut its first speaker on Sept. 18 at Stamps Auditorium in University of Michigan’s Walgreen Drama Center.
The inaugural lecture was given by influential Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao whose work centers on developing architectural projects that respond to the social climate.
The lecture series, which is endowed by the Charles Correa Lecture Fund at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, aims to engage students with global architecture, activism and promote cultural understanding through design.
Correa, who received a bachelor’s degree in architecture from U-M in 1953, was one of the pioneers bringing concepts and ideas about modern architecture to India. His body of work, in India, as well as other locations included museums, government buildings, and urban housing for low-income families reflects a commitment to excellence in design across a spectrum of scale.
