Le Corbusier Centre — Attraction in Chandigarh

The Le Corbusier Centre highlights the correlation between the city of Chandigarh and the form of the human body. A scale system created by Le Corb depicts the 'perfect man' based on the average French policemen. This scale and biomimicry often feature in his work.

While some interactive elements could add to the engagement, the overall experience is pretty good, offering a glimpse into the genius of Le Corbusier in the heart...
