Le Corbusier born today in 1887 was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of modern architecture.
Le Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there.
My art exhibition sponsored by Punjab University was held in one of the fascinating buildings designed by Le Corbusier. A gangway over a water body was the entrance to the galleries. The show closed everyday before sunset as the series of large halls were sans artificial lighting, illumination from the large skylights being sufficient. Indeed a great experience.
