Huviväärsused sihtkohas Shimla

Experience Chandigarh’s bold modernism with insider guided access to Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret’s brutalist work in India’s first planned city. The tour is curated for architects, admirers of good design and urban photography fans, so you’ll move through the city with an emphasis on form, function and photographic composition.

The one‑day option covers the top five key highlights, while a second day delves deeper into Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry’s vision and their rarer creations. You’ll also gain personal insight into everyday life in these buildings: the guide grew up in Corbusier’s public social housing, studied in Pierre Jeanneret’s schools and worked in Maxwell Fry’s offices, and brings that lived experience to the commentary. You’ll travel in a small group led by an experienced journalist who combines research and reporting with entertaining storytelling. As you move through Chandigarh, expect informed context about the architecture, anecdotes from the city’s history and practical notes that will help you see these landmark designs with fresh eyes.
