Pierre Jeanneret and Chandigarh by Shivdatt Sharma 2023 Hardcover New

Description: Pierre Jeanneret and ChandigarhBy Shivdatt Sharma Chandigarh, often referred to as the "City Beautiful," owes its remarkable character to the collaborative efforts of two exceptionally talented Swiss-French architects, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. While Le Corbusier has overwhelmingly dominated discussions surrounding the city, it is the aim of the book "Pierre Jeanneret and Chandigarh" to shed light on Pierre's significant contribution to shaping this urban marvel.The extraordinary vision and innovative approach of these two master architects played a pivotal role in Chandigarh's emergence as a meticulously planned and aesthetically pleasing city. Yet, over time, Pierre Jeanneret's exceptional work has remained largely unknown and underappreciated. It is this void that the book seeks to rectify by highlighting the vital partnership between the dreamer, Le Corbusier, and the implementer, Pierre Jeanneret—collaborators who made the "City Beautiful" a captivating reality.Pierre Jeanneret's architectural prowess is exemplified through the designs he meticulously crafted for government employees' housing, as well as buildings dedicated to health and education services, including the sprawling campus of Panjab University. His arrival in India in 1951 marked the beginning of an enduring association with Chandigarh, which lasted until 1965. Upon his departure, Pierre expressed a deep desire to have his ashes interred within Sukhna Lake, a symbolic act that intended to ensure his eternal connection to the city and his creation, even after death.Within the pages of this illuminating book, the author masterfully brings to life Pierre Jeanneret's days in Chandigarh, providing readers with invaluable insights into the brilliance of this lesser-known architect. Not only does the book capture the magnificent legacy Pierre left behind, but it also portrays his humble and unassuming nature. Pierre Jeanneret's dedication to his craft and unwavering commitment to making a lasting impact on the world of architecture become evident through the author's vivid descriptions and meticulous attention to detail.Pierre Jeanneret's contributions to Chandigarh were not restricted to the physical structures he designed. His architectural style, deeply rooted in modernism, incorporated elements that seamlessly blended with the natural landscape, ensuring harmony between human habitation and the environment. His commitment to creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing spaces resonates throughout his work in Chandigarh, leaving an indelible mark on the city's fabric.Through the captivating narrative woven within the book, readers gain a new appreciation for Pierre Jeanneret's architectural genius and the profound influence he had on Chandigarh's development. This homage to a remarkable architect serves not only as a testament to Pierre's exceptional talent but also as an invitation for readers to explore and celebrate the lesser-known figures who contribute significantly to our built environment.In conclusion, "Pierre Jeanneret and Chandigarh" seeks to rectify the historical oversight of Pierre's contributions to the "City Beautiful." This comprehensive exploration of his days in Chandigarh showcases the brilliance, humility, and dedication of an architect whose work and influence continue to shape the world of architecture.
