In an article entitled, "Climate Control," Correa argued that "in a country like India, architectural concepts cannot be determined exclusively by structure and services: they must involve a response to climate." However, a major example of his recent work included in the book, the LIC Centre in Delhi, which is currently under construction, does not seem to live up to the architect's own principles With its all-glazed wall facing Connaught Place, the building shares some essential characteristics with the Miesian box set in a sea of open §pace, an architectural solution which has been severely criticized by Correa in the past. The all-glazed sealed wall, as is well known, is not an effective way of dealing with climate control in either warm or cold climates. Time will tell whether the visual benefits gained from the reflecting walls outweigh the cost of construction and maintenance. In 1982 Correa wrote. "Architecture covers a wide spectrum of physical conditions, varying all the way from a closed 'box' at one end of the scale to open-to-sky space at the other. In between these two extremes, lies a considerable range of choices." The book under review gives an indication of the masterful way in which Correa has explored the wide range of choices that lie between these two extremes. In many of his buildings, especially those designed to house exhibitions, one can experience what Le Corbusier described as promenade architecturale, a movement through closed and open-to-sky spaces that elicits coordinated visual responses. In such exhibition buildings as the Gandhi Memorial Museum or the Art Centre at Bhopal, the most evocative spaces that one encounters on a promenade architecturale are those which mark the transition between inside and outside, dark and light. This is not surprising, for Correa fully understands the potential a sun-drenched country like Indian can offer to the creative architect in orchestrating transitional spaces.
