Sandhya Sood: Book Launch

by Leslie Golden

OWA member Sandhya Sood, principal of accent architecture, has co-authored a recent publication of Le Corbusier, Chandigarh and the Modern City, edited by Hasan-Uddin Khan with Julian Beinart and Charles Correa.
Her contributing essay, Housing in the City, evaluates several aspects of the urban housing for the changing pattern, its success and shortcomings today, fifty five years after the inception of this iconic ‘modern’ city in India. Chandigarh, associated with Le Corbusier, arguably the most eminent architect of the 20th century, has become an important model of modern city planning.
