Title: Advanced Topics in Modern Architecture: Modernist Dilemmas: Brasilia and Chandigarh turn 50
Description: During the twentieth century, several new capitals were built from scratch, for economic and political reasons. Two of these - Brasilia and Chandigarh -- share several traits, partly due to the impact of Le Corbusier. The full force of modern architecture was put to the test. This seminar will reassess these two capitals which are turning 50, studying the original project from different and often conflicting perspectives. Particular attention will be paid to the role of popular and professional media in the global promotion and circulation of the new cities.
