| Shrnutí: | Edwin Lutyens and Le Corbusier led the architectural progress of India in the 20th century. Both architects’ designs are associated with significant historical facts of the country. The Viceroy’s Palace designed by Lutyens was constructed in New Delhi at the downfall of the British Empire and gave way to the Capitol Complex at Chandigarh, designed by Le Corbusier, during the new Indian independent state of Jawaharlal Nehru.Lutyens and Corbusier, both travelling architects, confronted their opinions and ideals to the local government promoters of their projects. Somehow a dialectical discussion was established between both parties that no doubt enriched the projects. This is why we focus this article on these contributions and visions of our newcomers. |
