Chandigarh is in India tells the stories of the city of Chandigarh through the works of Indian and Western artists. The Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier's weathered buildings have long circulated as the dominant image of Chandigarh. However, there is much else that is of importance behind and alongside his buildings.Seeking to present differing articulations by artists about Chandigarh, the book consciously makes room for all the freely associative, fantastical and complex responses that make this city so beguiling. It explores how the architecture and the city itself have been used, adopted and adapted in the creative process. Featured artists include Cyprien Gaillard, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Gavin Hipkins, Madan Mahatta, Manuel Bougot, Pradeep Dalal, Seher Shah, Shezad Dawood, Thukral and Tagra, and Yamini Nayar.

Summary:
The cities of Paris and Chandigarh are the two poles in whose field of tension Le Corbusier's unique creative powers developed. Paris stands for the experimental white modernism of the twenties, a phase that begins immediately after his early works and peaks in the Villa Savoye. Chandigarh in India is the location of the brutalist monumental buildings that accompanied Le Corbusier almost throughout his late period until his death. In between these two great phases - in this book as well - comes his town planning work applied to concrete projects and also his preoccupation with geometrical design principles in the Modulor.

Summary:
C'est à Chandigarh, capitale indienne au pied de l'Himalaya, que Le Corbusier mit en oeuvre pour l'unique fois de sa vie ses théories urbaines à l'échelle d'une ville entière. En 1947, lors de la partition de l'Inde et du Pakistan, l'état du Punjab fut divisé : Lahore, son ancienne capitale, étant désormais au Pakistan, Nehru confia trois ans plus tard la construction d'une nouvelle capitale à une équipe dirigée par Le Corbusier. En photographiant Chandigarh à partir de 2010, l'intention de Manuel Bougot était de faire un portrait intime de la ville en figeant sur la pellicule exclusivement des intérieurs privés et administratifs. Mais face à l'architecture impressionnante des sites et notamment celle du Capitole Complex, qui regroupe la Haute cour de justice, l'Assemblée législative et le Secrétariat général, ce projet a évolué pour raconter cette ville que ses habitants appellent "The City Beautiful". Manuel Bougot s'est attaché à montrer l'appropriation par les Indiens de cette architecture occidentale et, au-delà, la confrontation de deux cultures que tout semblerait opposer, faisant un état des lieux soixante ans après la naissance de cette capitale prévue pour cinq cent mille habitants et qui en compte aujourd'hui plus de deux millions. A des années-lumière de l'idée que l'on se fait des grandes villes indiennes, au coeur de la densité minérale des bâtiments en béton, Chandigarh exhibe de magnifiques espaces verts, des parcs luxuriants où écureuils et singes se promènent en liberté et où les habitants font leur jogging quotidien. C'est cette capitale originale, le plus grand chantier de Le Corbusier, que nous restitue le photographe, dans ce livre auquel contribuent également l'historienne de l'architecture Caroline Maniaque, et l'architecte indien Balkrishna Doshi, Pritzker prize 2018, qui accompagna Le Corbusier dans cette aventure hors norme.

Summary:
In the early 1950s, many in the architectural profession turned their gaze towards India, where an ideal modern city seemed to be becoming a reality. When Le Corbusier and his team started work in February 1951 in Chandigarh, American planner Albert Mayer and his young principal architect Matthew Nowicki had already completed a land development plan for the site. The challenge Le Corbusier then faced was to demonstrate how a city designed from the drawing board could feel humane, functional and viable once built. Once the home of public officials, Chandigarh has become a vibrant garden city and a magnet for the booming Indian software industry. Attracted to the idea of a possible dialogue and contradiction between European architecture and Indian lifestyle, German ethnographer Bärbel Högner began photographing the city. Chandigarh: Living with Le Corbusier surveys Le Courbusier's contribution to India's first planned city, while simultaneously revealing Högner's passionate interest and impeccable eye for architectural detail.

Summary:
In 1950, Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru invited legendary French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier to embark on one of the greatest experiments in urban planning history: to build a new capital Chandigarh, a city whose monumental modernism promised to free India from the fetters of colonial tradition. 'six decades after its founding and on the eve of its becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016, photographer and Chandigarh resident Shaun Fynn was granted unprecedented access to turn his lens on Le Corbusier's city and capture what is rarely seen: the living metropolis behind the master plan. Fynn's captivating images of the city and its inhabitants reveal how the poetry of the architect's compositions has been shaped by the tumult of everyday life. Alongside descriptions of the city's architectural highlights, Chandigarh Revealed features a foreword by Le Corbusier authority Maristella Casciato, an essay by architectural historian Vikram ditya Prak sh, an interview with M. N. Sharma one of two surviving members of Le Corbusier's team and custom-designed maps to orient readers.
