Abstract

One of the most ambitious developmental schemes planned on India's independence was the city planning of Chandigarh, a symbolic gesture towards the country's future. Designed by Pierre Jeanneret in 1962 to evoke a lotus flower afloat in a pond, Gandhi Bhawan, dedicated to the work of Mahatma Gandhi, is a testament to the culmination of modernism as an aesthetic, historic and inter-cultural movement in India. Situated within the Panjab University campus, Gandhi Bhawan was conceived by Jeanneret as a platform to present his principles of Indian modernism, its design influenced by Gandhian ideals and the pinwheel toys of local children. This volume, supported by a grant from the Getty Foundation's 'Keeping it Modern initiative', documents the thorough research and conservation planning effort for Gandhi Bhawan, including comprehensive testing of its innovative building materials. Its impact stretches beyond the university, as the conservation plan outlined here forms an invaluable resource for other buildings of the modern era. With several images, maps and plans, this publication hopes to make accessible the work of many architects, engineers, conservators and scholars, ensuring the preservation of this architectural gem and the hopeful vision it embodies.

Abstract

This reprint of the notebook “Album Punjab Simla. Chandigarh, Mars 1951” kept by Le Corbusier (1887–1965) during his two-week visit to the Indian state of Punjab in anticipation of the planning and construction of Chandigarh, 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 The spiralbound notebook facsimile is accompanied by a paperback volume featuring previously unpublished photographs taken by Le Corbusier’s cousin Pierre Jeanneret (1896–1967) during this early expedition. The detailed commentary by architectural historian Maristella Casciato reflects upon the variety of topics assembled in the notebook and retraces the story of these days in which the new capital city was planned. By transcribing Le Corbusier’s famously illegible handwriting in French and English, this book allows its readers complete access to the architect’s mind.

Abstract

Après l'indépendance de l'Inde en 1947, une vague de villes nouvelles submerge le pays : 100 villes sont créées. Chandigarh est de celles-là. Rémi Papillault présente cette "ville qui se dérobe, différente et familière". Le livre se promène dans Chandigarh de thème en thème, de son invention à sa partition territoriale, de son inscription dans le temps à sa densification et sa patrimonialisation. Le Corbusier "chef d'orchestre" de sa création : si l'évocation du nom renvoie à Le Corbusier, d'autres architectes ont travaillé sur la création de cette ville. A l'origine du projet, Albert Mayer a réalisé en 1949 le premier plan de la ville avec l'aide de Matthew Nowicki. Albert Mayer meurt dans un accident en 1951. C'est ainsi que Le Corbusier reprend le projet, sollicité par les Indiens, en donnant naissance à un "schéma d'urbanisme plus en rondeurs". "Chef d'orchestre" de l'opération, il travaille aux côtés d'autres architectes tels que Jane Drew et Maxwell Fry. D'autres personnes contribuent à la création de la ville comme son cousin et collaborateur Pierre Jeanneret. Un livre né d'une recherche : cette ville, véritable "oeuvre ouverte", est illustrée de photos en couleurs et en noir et blanc prises par différents photographes dont l'auteur lui-même. A la fois architecte et enseignant-chercheur à l'Ecole nationale supérieure d'architecture de Toulouse, il a réalisé ce livre dans le cadre d'une de ses recherches en 1997 pour un séminaire de l'Ecole d'architecture de Paris-La-Défense. http://www.maisonapart.com/edito/immobilier-a-la-decouverte-de-chandigarh-787.php

Abstract

Brasilia, Chandigarh, Le Havre... Ces trois grandes villes du XXe siècle, construites par trois architectes majeurs, Oscar Niemeyer, Le Corbusier et Auguste Perret, sur trois continents différents, ont en commun d'avoir été de grands chantiers mettant en oeuvre les convictions de leurs concepteurs. Réalisations majeures de l'histoire mondiale de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, elles ont également en commun d'avoir été photographiées entre 1955 et 1961 par l'un des meilleurs "interprètes" de l'architecture qui soient : Lucien Hervé. Le dialogue entre son oeuvre et celles, plus récentes, d'artistes contemporains (Louidgi Beltrame, Emmanuelle Blanc, Jordi Colomer, Stéphane Couturier, George Dupin, Véronique Ellena, Diwan Manna, Arthur Monteiro, Emmanuel Pinard, Caio Reisewitz et Nancy Wilson-Pajic), invite à la (redécouverte de ces photographies devenues mythiques et ayant largement contribué à faire connaître en Europe la physionomie des nouvelles capitales du Brésil et du Penjab occidental et en France, celle du Havre. http://www.eyrolles.com/BTP/Livre/9782757200933/livre-brasilia-chandigarh-le-havre.php

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."
