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 on the flat plains of Punjab a new capital--Chandigarh, a city whose monumental modernism promised to free India from the fetters of colonial tradition and lay the groundwork for an independent and utopian future. Nicknamed the City Beautiful, Chandigarh has been called one of "the perfect cities of the world in terms of architecture, cultural growth, and modernization," and in 2016 was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Six decades after its founding, 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 observe how the poetry of the architect's compositions have been shaped by the tumult of everyday life and worn by the forces of time. Chandigarh Revealed combines striking photographs, texts by Le Corbusier authorities, an interview with one of the last remaining architects from Le Corbusier's team, and custom-designed maps to create an astonishing and intimate portrait of a legendary city.

Catalogue of the exhibition Technoscape. The Architecture of Engineers, curated by Pippo Ciorra and Maristella Casciato, hosted by MAXXI from October 2022 to April 2023, and focusing on the relationship between structural engineering, whether vernacular or avant-garde, and the invasion of technology into our operating and living spaces. The volume reflects the exhibition's double register, which, questioning the role that architecture can play in the near future, is arranged in two sections corresponding with the two great universes of technological innovation and construction engineering. Through numerous contributions resulting from the collaboration with universities and research centres, the book retraces and examines the many occasions in which architecture, engineering and science overlapped during the twentieth century: first in the heroic and then more mature phase of the diffusion of reinforced concrete, then with the affirmation of hi-tech construction methods in the 1970s and 1980s and lately with the irruption of contemporary digitally controlled technologies. The publication is enriched by an extensive photographic apparatus through which the symbolic buildings of the great structural engineers from the post-war period to the present day can be fully appreciated. -- Publisher's website.
