Abstract

"In 1960, Braslia was celebrated as the realization of an urban-planning vision based on designs by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer. At the same time, the city of Chandīgarh, rationally laid out in sectors was taking shape according to plans by Le Corbusier. The 'test-tube' city arose as an export of modernity from a Western planning euphoria that reveals utopian traits. Living with Modernity examines how modernism has been expropriated in the two cities. Commonalites and differences are identified while images of everyday urban life are showcased in photographs by photographer Iwan Baan."

Abstract

Issues du Mouvement moderne, les villes de La Grande Motte (1974), Brasília (1960) et Chandigarh (1953) se caractérisent chacune par des architectures assez distinctes. Ces trois œuvres du patrimoine contemporain nous interpellent sur la place de l'homme dans la cité et la promesse d'une utopie. Lumière, espaces consacrés, liberté de mouvement permettent une disponibilité, pour rêver, être habité. L'interaction entre les photographies de Stéphane Herbert et la poésie de Carole Lenfant invite à une promenade urbaine ponctuée par les jeux d'ombre et la densité des couleurs. Accord architectural, temporalité des corps, le voyage commence autour des pyramides de Jean Balladur, passe par les coupoles d'Oscar Niemeyer puis se termine sur l'esplanade du Capitole de Le Corbusier. Des plages de la Méditerranée à la nouvelle civilisation qu'est le Brésil jusqu'à l'Inde immémoriale : invitation à méditer sur trois villes anticonformistes et oniriques, trois villes ouvertes et universelles. Born from the Modern Movement, the cities of La Grande Motte (1974), Brasília (1960) and Chandigarh (1953) are each characterised by their distinctive architecture. These three works of contemporary heritage question man's place in the city and the promise of utopia. Light, dedicated spaces and freedom of movement provide a readiness to dream, to be lived in. The interaction between Stéphane Herbert's photographs and the poetry of Carole Lenfant invites one to an urban promenade punctuated by games of shadows and the density of the colours. Architectural harmony, temporality of the body, the voyage begins around Jean Balladur's pyramids, passes by Oscar Niemeyer's domes, then ends on the esplanade of Le Corbusier's Capitol. From the beaches of the Mediterranean to the new civilization that is Brazil to immemorial India: an invitation to meditate on three anticonformist and dreamlike cities, three cities that are open and universal.

Abstract

This reprint of the notebook 'Album Punjab Simla. Chandigarh, Mars 1951' kept by Le Corbusier from his two-week visit in the area that would become Chandigarh, the new capital city of the Indian state of Punjab, presents his written or sketched memos and personal reflections as well as notes and schematic solutions elaborated during meetings. The 'Album Punjab' constitutes a primary source for reconstructing the topics addressed by the small team of architects and governmental officials who in only a few days developed the outlines of the Chandigarh plan. The spiralbound notebook facsimile is accompanied by a paperback volume featuring previously unpublished photographs taken by Le Corbusier's cousin Pierre Jeanneret during this early expedition. Jeanneret documented the landscape and people that the architects encountered upon their arrival; a scenario destined to totally change with the birth of the great city. A detailed commentary by architectural historian Maristella Casciato is also included. It reflects on the variety of topics assembled in the notebook and traces the story of these days in which the new capital city was planned.

Abstract

"This book documents two complementary urban realities that have played a fundamental role in the imagination, definition and redefinition of the twentieth-century modern city. Shifting away from an understanding of architecture as the construction of monumental masterpieces, the texts collected here assemble the narratives behind the public spaces, housing and social facilities in these two cities, where modern plans have proven unexpectedly resilient and adaptable over time. This perspective is reinforced through visual contributions by Yto Barrada and Takashi Homma--two photographers especially invested in capturing everyday urban life. In a world marked by decolonization and Cold War politics, Casablanca and Chandigarh appear simultaneously as exponents of and countercurrents to modernization and its development perspectives. The book's three chapters set the context for reading Casablanca and Chandigarh as the results of nuanced, dynamic processes of international exchange driven by the engagement and expertise of a new class of design professionals. As a dossier of actors, alignments and agendas, the book contributes to an alternative historiography of post-war urbanism and to recent reflections on the impact of transnational practice."--P. [4] of cover.
