Chandigarhs Le Corbusier: The Struggle For Modernity in Postcolonial India (2002)

Explores the intricate story behind the creation of Chandigarh, a city designed to symbolize India’s aspirations in the wake of independence. The book delves into the collaboration and conflicts between Le Corbusier, the iconic European modernist architect, and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who envisioned the city as a beacon of progress unburdened by historical conventions. Condition: boards a little rubbed to extremities. Dust-wrapper a little creased to top edge, otherwise very good.
