Chandigarh Casablanca documents two different but complementary
urban realities that have played a fundamental role in the
imagination, the definition, and the redefinition of the
20th-century modern city. Modern urbanism has traditionally
ascribed universal value to avant-garde ideas originating in Europe
and North America, and developments in non-Western regions as
derived from those original models. This study shifts perspective
in search of a new understanding of the modern city, taking into
consideration the complex history of diverse cultures and changing
borders. Focusing on a range of issues from the symbolic use of
architecture to construct stunning monuments, to the creation of
public spaces, housing design and social facilities, it features
many images by two non-western photographers, Yto Barrada (French
Morocco) and Takashi Homma (Japan), to construct a relevant
definition of the modern city in a global sense.
