Geography & terrain

Le Corbusier Centre lies in the Sector 19 area of Chandigarh, 2 km from the Capitol complex and 250 km from Delhi — the architecture archive of the region, its planning drawings, the maps and the models set on the city's green grid.

History & culture

The centre's story runs with the city's planned-modernist era — the office of the 1950s Chandigarh project (the earlier home of Le Corbusier's atelier), with the centre's modern role as the museum of the city's planning and the home of the architect's drawings and the models; the centre's history of the city's design of 1951 and the modern architecture of the state, gives the centre its archive character.
