A carefully composed shot of Chandigarh, Le Corbusier’s urban vision in northern India. While the city is a testament to the extent of Corbusier’s influence on global architecture and planning, his approach often failed to adapt to local climates and his plans were always car-centric which resulted in less lively streetscapes. I learned about this city (and Brasilia which he also designed) in one of my favorite classes at Cornell on Urban Planning, and they are fascinating studies of the forces of design in large-scale social contexts xoko (Excerpt via “Urban Planning/Utopian Dreaming: Le Corbusier’s Chandigarh Today” by Peter Fitting, 2002) https://instagr.am/p/CeEteSzJ5yv/
