Like a modern romantic ruin Le Corbusier’s ‘Tour d’ombres’ (or Tower of Shadows) in Chandigarh is a concrete pavilion in the Capitol area of his modern city, sited between the Palace of Justice and the Parliament building. A symbolic structure, it demonstrates Le Corbusier’s theories of sun control and was inspired by 18th century Indian astronomical observatories:
“A very open hall, very high and shadowy(…) the sun can be controlled at all four cardinal points of an edifice and even manipulated in a hot country to reduce temperatures”
The brise-soleil walls on three faces, East, West and South, provide shade from the searing heat of the sun, whilst the North side is open, framing a view of the enormous plaza. The rhythm of the spacings of the brise-soleil walls varies according to the situation, allowing the study of the sun by means of the shadows. The building is aligned on the north-south axis to interrupt the symmetry of the square. It was designed in c.1952 (there is a model in the MOMA collection) but when I visited in March it was difficult to tell whether the building was unfinished, or had become a ruin in the process of restoration.

Rooms with a View
“This exhibition focuses on a subject treasured by the Romantics: the view through an open window. German, French, Danish, and Russian artists first took up the theme in the second decade of the nineteenth century.
Juxtaposing near and far, the window is a metaphor for unfulfilled longing. Painters distilled this feeling in pictures of hushed, spare rooms with contemplative figures; studios with artists at work; and open windows as the sole motif. As the exhibition reveals, these pictures may shift markedly in tone, yet they share a distinct absence of the anecdote and narrative that characterized earlier genre painting.”
