The Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya and Correa's later projects provide example of combining the Hindu architectural/ cosmological idea of isotropy and Modernist functional planning. The concept of isotropy (similar to fractals) refers to an infinitely scaleable structure and can be seen in the repetition and manipulation of the decorative elements in Hindu temples. In the Smarak Sangrahalaya, the modular pavilion unit is designed for easy extension and emphasizes the accumulation of a single element to make a whole. Correa placed five distinctly programmed interior spaces within the asymmetrical grid plan. The plan of the museum has also been compared to village houses in India's Banni region. Instead of a single volume, the houses consist of five huts each with a different function, which surround to make a courtyard. The inhabitants walk back and forth across the outside space to use the different rooms.
