    Charles Correa designed the Ramkrishna House in 1962-64 in Ahmedabad, India. The design incorporated passive concepts for natural ventilation suited for India's hot, dry climate. The long, narrow shape and openings in the sloped roof allow for airflow through the house. Interior courtyards are top-lit by the roof openings. Correa's design was rooted in local culture while providing modern structural solutions and reintroducing outdoor spaces through terraces.
