Is Charles Correa "India's Greatest Architect"?

Charles Corres: India's Greatest Architect is a career retrospective on the architect running from 14 May to 04 September 2013 at RIBA in London. The exhibition puts on display some of the 6,000 drawings Correa has donated to the RIBA archive to document whom the organization clearly sees as the most important architect practicing in post-independence India.

Perhaps RIBA's assertion can be founded in Correa's international renown balanced with his desire to focus his energies on buildings in India; he has ventured overseas rarely (most recently for the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon), against the rising tide of the global architect. As RIBA describes it, "Correa’s work is informed both by a world view and intimate understanding of place." Charles Correa: India's Greatest Architect is curated by Dr. Irena Murray, RIBA Sir Bannister Fletcher Curator.
