The Sabarmati Ashram by Charles Correa gives a contemporary expression of the spirit of Swadeshi. It combines hindu architecture and the cosmological idea of isotropy (which can be found in a variety of hindu temples) with modernist functional planning.
The rudimentary principle behind the design was based upon opening up individually. Hence this “openness” is used as a tool for manifesting modernity in his ashrams, which is designing space to nurture individuality. A couple more aspects that have been worked out are : Relationship between body and encompassing space/enclosure and opening up of the private space of the body as an expression of the new modern relationship between body and dwelling.
