Indian Stage in Creative Activity of Le Corbusier. Chandigarh-City Project (1950–1960)

This work is important to study the creative heritage of Le Corbuier as one of the key architects of the 20th century, whose urban planning ideas had a significant impact on the development of modern urbanism. Of particular interest is his activity in India, where he implemented his theoretical concepts in the Chandigarh city project (1950-1960). Purpose: The aim of this work is to analyze architectural and urban planning solutions of Le Corbusier, incorporated into the Chandigarh project, including his socio-political and aesthetic concepts, as well as their influence on the formation of modern urban planning. Research findings: The main socio-political and architectural design concepts of Charles-Edouard, are identified. They are incorporated in the general scheme of the master plan, solutions for pedestrian and transport networks, garden and park areas and architectural solutions for the administrative center. The Chandigarh project demonstrates a unique syn-thesis of Western and Eastern modernist ideas, making it an important object of study in the history of architecture and urban planning.
