His eye-catching buildings have helped define the architecture of post-independence India. From cultural and civic monuments to modest housing developments, Charles Correa's influence and style has spread far beyond the subcontinent.

A new exhibition at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London - which has been gifted Correa's archive - celebrates his decades-long career. Take a look with the designer, fellow architect David Adjaye.

Charles Correa: India's Greatest Architect can be seen at Riba, in central London, from 14 May to 4 September 2013.
