Governor's Palace, Chandigarh
Governor's Palace is a proposed government building in Chandigarh, India. The building was designed by Le Corbusier, with help from Pierre Jeanneret, a Swiss architect and Corbusier's cousin, but it wasn't built.[1][2]
A model of the building was on display at the Le Corbusier Centre, Zürich, Switzerland and Chandigarh Architecture Museum, Sector 10, Chandigarh. Planning and development of the city of Chandigarh is considered a unique experiment of the modern independent India.[3]
A very detailed model was built by Aexander Gorlin and was published as an analytical exploded defragmentation on July 29, 1980.[4]
