wish list : # 2 : visit chandigarh : architecture : le corbusier in india

i have always wanted to go to india; a 2 hour wait in the then bombay airport when i was 12 doesn’t count. so when i finally make it i will go to chandigarh and all the other places that there are many buildings by le corbusier. what i love is that you don’t imagine these buildings in india, yet for me they seam to be more in place there, with their rough concrete walls, and their use by real people, rather than the perfect museums we have here in europe.
