Palace of Assembly, Chandigarh
Le Corbusier · Chandigarh, India · 1962
Le Corbusier's Palace of Assembly gives legislative government a monumental concrete setting. Its deep portico and expressive roof forms distinguish the assembly chambers within a larger geometric composition. The building is one element of Chandigarh's Capitol Complex, where vast open space gives the separate institutions a deliberately legible civic relationship. Visiting: Free Chandigarh Tourism guided tour with registration and photo ID. Interior access depends on the day and official activity.
