Sorry for the delay, went home to Maine.....and set up a tumblr, Ursa Major Redux (designed to be a little less precious than this blog).

Le Corbusier at Chandigarh

2011-10-12T14:38:00.000-07:00

'I say it with pride. Finally here at 67 years of age ...I was able to erect an architecture which fulfills day to day function but which leads to jubilation.' -Le Corbusier. Unfortunately what many consider Corbusier's crowning achievement is falling into disrepair and being stripped of all things Corbusier. Even a manhole cover fetched $21,000 on the international market. Go see it while you still can. The Chandigarh administration is seeking World Heritage Site status from UNESCO.

Found here- thanks Vineet!
