This book documents the creation of Chandigarh, the modernist capital city planned after India’s independence and designed principally by Le Corbusier, with major contributions from Pierre Jeanneret, as well as E. Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew. It examines how the architects translated modernist ideals into an urban plan intended to embody progress, order, and a new national identity. Richly illustrated, the volume explores the city’s layout, its monumental government buildings, and the extensive catalog of furniture and smaller architectural elements designed for public use. It also highlights Jeanneret’s long-term involvement in the project—especially in housing, civic buildings, and everyday design—showing how the collaboration shaped one of the 20th century’s most influential experiments in modern urban planning.
