Another work by Charles Correa designed in 1986 and built in 1992, Jawahar Kala Kendra is a fine arts center and museum located in Jaipur. Its purpose its to preserve arts and crafts from the Indian state of Rajasthan, and it is separated into several blocks. I find the central amphitheater to be pleasing, though, with its tiered geometric designs around the side and simple circle and square marking its center. Much like another of his buildings, the British Council in New Delhi, the grass stands out very distinctly against the red brick color of the courtyard, and makes it much more pleasing to the eye.

The ceiling of the entrance foyer stands out as well. Of course, Correa may not have designed the painting covering it, but he certainly took part in designing the dome on which the painting sits, which has a port on the center topped with glass, allowing sunlight into the first room of the Center. The dome without a center is structurally interesting to me, and I wonder how it is supported, although there is probably glass in the whole to prevent rain coming in.
