In this thought-provoking session, Noor Dasmesh Singh takes us on an immersive journey through the architectural legacy of Le Corbusier and his visionary plan for Chandigarh architecture. As one of the most celebrated examples of modern architecture and brutalist architecture, Chandigarh buildings like the Capitol Complex, Palace of Assembly, Secretariat Building, and Tower of Shadows have become icons of UNESCO heritage in India and symbols of post-independence Indian architecture.

Noor explores the philosophical layers behind these masterpieces—unpacking the symbolism of the Open Hand Monument, the cosmic geometry of Geometric Hill, and their alignment with Vastu Shastra, the Cosmic Man, and even the Vitruvian Man.

Linking ancient principles with modern frameworks, he examines how urban design in India has evolved—from tropical modernism to innovations like 3D printing architecture, terrazzo, and exposed brick. The session also touches upon how cities like Chandigarh are captured through architectural photography, showcased in design exhibitions, and interpreted by a new generation of Indian architects.

Presented in collaboration with Foundation Chandigarh and Metaverse Studio, this talk is essential viewing for anyone passionate about architecture in India, the history of capital hill, and the future of urban spaces.
