This reprint of the notebook Album Punjab Simla. Chandigarh, Mars
1951 kept by Le Corbusier from his two-week visit in the area that
would become Chandigarh, the new capital city of the Indian state
of Punjab, presents his written or sketched memos and personal
reflections as well as notes and schematic solutions elaborated
during meetings. The Album Punjab constitutes a primary source for
reconstructing the topics addressed by the small team of architects
and governmental officials who in only a few days developed the
outlines of the Chandigarh plan. The spiralbound notebook facsimile
is accompanied by a paperback volume featuring previously
unpublished photographs taken by Le Corbusier’s cousin Pierre
Jeanneret during this early expedition. Jeanneret documented the
landscape and people that the architects encountered upon their
arrival – a scenario destined to totally change with the birth of
the great city. A detailed commentary by architectural historian
Maristella Casciato is also included. It reflects on the variety of
topics assem- bled in the notebook and traces the story of these
days in which the new capital city was planned.
