The Hipster Chandigarh Architecture History Tour

About this activity

Get insider guided access to Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret's brutalist creations in the first planned city of India in Chandigarh like no other. Curated especially for architects, admirers of good design, or urban photography fans, we cover rare access to civil engineering experimentation, city planning, heat management & socialism in play from the post-independence 1950's India. The one day tour covers top 5 key highlights, and the second day divulges deep down in Jane Drew & Maxwell Fry's vision with rarely seen creations.

• I've been a journalist for 11 years and am a 3rd generation citizen of the city.
• I spent 24 years of my life living in Corbus’s public social housing, studied in Pierre’s designed schools & went to Maxwell Fry’s designed offices – so I live, breathe, and exist as Chandigarh.
• I started these tours via combining my research & journalism skills in learning architecture with hilariously entertaining storytelling to curate these unique small group tours
