What would a utopian city of the 20th century look like, if designed by one of the most iconic & revered architects of the era? And would it all work?
Discover the incredible planned city of Chandigarh in India; the largest and most ambitious project of the renowned Swiss and French architect Le Corbusier.
Designed and constructed in the 1950s, Chandigarh is a controversial synthesis of the arts and a bold utopia of modernity; that strived to become a human city - not another industrial city.
THE POWER OF UTOPIA accompanies four cultural workers who live in the planned city and reflects on Le Corbusier's legacy, utopian urban ideas and the cultural differences between East and West in an atmospherically dense narrative.
