Mind Space: A Haveli At MIT
For the world's top brain bank, architect Charles Correa blends the
'factory' with an Indian prototype
ASHISH KUMAR SE
Architect Charles Correa has returned to his alma mater, the renowned
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with a gift. His latest
creation, the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Building, has brought to
Cambridge, the sedate New England town with its elite institutions of
learning, a touch of the Indian haveli—its play of harnessed light, its
muted sounds.
With his project in Cambridge complete, Correa now plans to finish the
buildings he had started, including a project for the Aga Khan
Foundation in Toronto. "Buildings take years to finish," he says. "I've
done so much work, I have to stop somewhere."
After a pause, he adds, "I love designing...I may design a chair."
