Publisher Description: The Corb's Capitol is a dialogue between the city of Chandigarh and the architects. It is a compelling narration of Chandigarh's growth alongside the city's transformative experiences with the rhythm of Time. The book is a delightful orchestration of the author's intimate conversations with the visitors who come to Chandigarh to seek inspiration and insight; besides stimulation for enhancing their sense of aesthetic appreciation or to exalt their ability for artistic creation. Narrated in a simple, witty, and straightforward style, the technique adopted by the author is hypnotic. The book not only provides information about Le Corbusier's greatest masterpiece, the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh, but also entertains through its amusing and sharp snapshots at the way the modern city and its architecture have been taking shape. |
