This case study examines the City Centre Kolkata project, a commercial, cultural, and social hub in Kolkata, India designed by architect Charles Correa. The project aims to create a space that serves as a node for various activities. Located in Salt Lake City, it incorporates mixed uses on its 50,400 square meter site. Key aspects of the design include replicating conventional Indian shopping markets with an open, clustered layout, and connecting public spaces and diverse activities through built forms and linkages. Floor plans show the arrangement of functions across levels, while sections illustrate the integration of interior and exterior spaces.
