In honor and memory of renowned architect Charles Correa (B. Arch. ’53), The Charles Correa Charitable Trust, through an endowed gift, established the Charles Correa International Lecture Fund in order to support the yearly Charles Correa Lecture at Taubman College, featuring an international architect.

Born in India and educated in the U.S., Charles Correa’s work reflects an international perspective. Able to reference a range of architectural traditions, he is known for designs that translate the language of modernism into a dialect of the Indian subcontinent.
