The Bharat Bhavan cultural center in Bhopal, India was designed by architect Charles Correa in 1982. The 120000 square foot center was built into a hillside sloping down to a lake, using the natural contours to create sunken courts and terraced gardens housing art galleries, a tribal museum, auditorium, poetry library, print shop, artist studio, and amphitheater. Correa combined modern facilities with materials and forms rooted in vernacular Indian architectural traditions.
