An architectural guide to Chandigarh has been long overdue. Chandigarh is not only the site of Le Corbusier's largest assembly of work in one place, the theatre of Pierre Jeanneret's flourishing as an architect, and an important venue of Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew's 'tropical architecture', it is also the place where the first generation of Indian modernists – Aditya Prakash, Anant Prabhawalkar, Bhanu Prakash Mathur, Harbinder Chopra, Jeet Malhotra, Manmohan Sharma, Shivdatt Sharma and many others – cut their teeth and produced a superb body of work that is dispersed through the city.
