About Palace of Assembly Chandigarh

The artwork titled “Palace of Assembly Chandigarh,” created by the renowned architect Le Corbusier in 1955, is a notable example of Constructivism in architectural genre. Located in Chandigarh, India, this iconic structure exemplifies both the artistic and functional elements of the Constructivist movement.

The artwork is characterized by its bold use of reinforced concrete, massive geometric forms, and a stark, minimalist aesthetic. Its grand, imposing structure features a large, undulating roof and numerous columns, which create a rhythm of shadows and light. The reflective pool in front of the building further accentuates its monumental scale, mirroring its linear and curvilinear forms. The Palace of Assembly stands as a testament to Le Corbusier’s innovative approach to design, integrating modernist principles with local climatic conditions and cultural context.
