"This book, the first record of the city of Chandigarh's architecture, is about the contribution of Pierre Jeanneret, collaborator of Le Corbusier since 1922, and the husband-and-wife team of Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew. Fry and Drew, using their extensive experience in tropical Africa, and Jeanneret, evolved numerous innovative designs for housing around stringent economic constraints, an unfamiliar climate, and complex societal norms even for 'the poorest of poor. The present documentation by Kiran Joshi, an architect and educationist, is the much-needed detailed inventory which gives perspectives to evolving architectural language appropriate to the region, its place and people." - Mr. B.V. Doshi.
