Remember the old building of the architect department in Sector 19. The makeshift building housed the first office of the French architect Le Corbusier who along with the teach of architects and engineers, planned our great city.
The Chandigarh Administration has decided to convert that building into a heritage buillding and would be known as the Le Corbusier Centre, which will house some of the exhibits of Le Corbusier's work and would be a tourist attraction. It will have three sections comprising of a museum where his original office is being recreated with the same old ambiance, a display gallery and a research and publication wing.
To be completed in two months time, it would be lit-up at night. So here is another attraction for the tourists, and a place to be proud of for the citizens.
