Contemporary architecture not only in India but also around the
world is indebted to Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, the
Swiss-French architects. Le Corbusier has left an indelible mark on
the architecture and intellectual landscape of the twentieth
century. This book is a pioneering attempt to cover the entire
Indian works of these two architects. Besides Chandigarh, it covers
Le Corbusier's works at Ahmedabad and also Bhakra Dam at Nangal. It
also discusses Pierre Jeanneret's lesser-known projects like
Talwara in Punjab; Sundernagar, Pandoh and Slapper townships in
Himachal Pradeshl and the Medical College at Rohtak in Haryana. It
analyzes even those projects which never saw the light of the day.
It examines the full and extraordinary range of Le Corbusier and
Pierre Jeanneret's ideas which encompass contemporary town
planning, innovative use of space and modular standardization. With
a rich, explanatory and penetrating text, this treatise is a
retrospection of creative aspects, as well as, limitations of their
works. This is the most serious appraisal of how these architects
overcame all the professional problems and found solutions within
the Indian context. Throughout the book, the authors discuss the
architectural works of the masters and their impact on the Indian
architectural scene. Approximately 56 projects designed by Le
Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret are presented along with almost 40
works of Indian architects which show the influence of their
philosophy. Additional information is available on the book's
