Description:
Photographs of Le Corbusier’s architecture in Chandigarh, India.
“For me being in Brasilia and Chandigarh is like coming home. I recognise the architecture of my childhood there. In the tropics, the contrast between what’s geometric and organic is so vital that it brings back memories.”
