Le Corbusier ]The Capitol complex, Chandigarh - reena - 08-27-2014

The Capitol complex, Chandigarh

The Capitol : Le Corbusier liked to compare the city he planned to a biological entity: the head was the Capitol, the City Center was the heart and work areas of the institutional area and the university were limbs.
Asymmetrically arranged in a huge square, the buildings of the Capitoline together represent the powers of the democratic state and are comprised of:
Courts (Judiciary)
Secretariat (Executive)
Legislative Assembly (legislature)
Governor's Palace (not implemented)
Trench contemplation
Ponds

Legislative Assembly Building , Capitol complex, Chandigarh.

The building has two entrances: one at the basement level for everyday use an the other from the piazza level for ceremonial occasions through a massive entrance, 7.60 meters high and 7.60 meters broad, whose enameled door translates a cubist mural painted by Le Corbusier himself.
