Description

Discover how Le Corbusier's iconic Chandigarh experiment remains relevant to contemporary urban challenges in this insightful examination by an esteemed scholar and former city resident. This book reevaluates the architect's visionary work through a poststructuralist and postcolonial lens, addressing pressing issues including climate change, globalisation, neo-nationalism, and information technology. By comparing Chandigarh's current state with Le Corbusier's original plans and drawings, the author explores fundamental questions of preservation, identity, meaning, and urban transformation. Published by Routledge, this compelling analysis examines whether Chandigarh's modernist principles can guide future sustainable cities whilst navigating the complexities of cultural identity and global change.
