The construction of the Indian planned city of Chandigarh 70 years ago saw Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier complete his life’s work. Born in a time of unrest, resettlement and the Partition of India, Chandigarh stands for progress and the newly emerged democracy. His vision was to create a modern, humane and just city, built according to the “measure of man”, which allowed for a cultural life and harmonious interaction between people and nature.
In this atmospheric and thoughtful documentary, four people from different walks of life, reflect on Le Corbusier’s legacy, the city they live in, his utopian urban concepts and the cultural differences between East and West.
Doors open at 6.00pm. Screening commences at 6.30pm.
