Summary:
In this radical book, architects, historians, and theorists survey the inventive, low cost work being done in obscure places to make architecture into a force for sustainable growth and social justice. The efforts are Utopian not charitable in aim. This new breed of architect-activists is endeavoring to diversify if not reinvent their profession by engaging in an "exchange" of ideas, techniques, and visions of right living with people almost always relegated to silence and invisibility. The book opens with a range of theoretical essays, each specially commissioned, from "the site of the social" in architecture to John Hejduk's legacy, as well as five ways to change the world with Chris Marker's films. Subsequent essays form a field guide to "exchange" projects from Harlem to Port-au-Prince to Serekunda and Indore, a few still unbuilt, all virtually unknown to students of architecture. Jae Cha, Peter Clegg, Simón Vélez, and famed modernist Balkrishna Doshi demonstrate the benefits of easily found and/or scavenged materials, including bamboo. Other essays present varied alternatives to ghettoizing large groups in bleak housing complexes and urban "deserts" in architecture.

C'est à Chandigarh, capitale indienne au pied de l'Himalaya, que Le Corbusier mit en oeuvre pour l'unique fois de sa vie ses théories urbaines à l'échelle d'une ville entière. En 1947, lors de la partition de l'Inde et du Pakistan, l'état du Punjab fut divisé : Lahore, son ancienne capitale, étant désormais au Pakistan, Nehru confia trois ans plus tard la construction(...)

Summary:
C'est à Chandigarh, capitale indienne au pied de l'Himalaya, que Le Corbusier mit en oeuvre pour l'unique fois de sa vie ses théories urbaines à l'échelle d'une ville entière. En 1947, lors de la partition de l'Inde et du Pakistan, l'état du Punjab fut divisé : Lahore, son ancienne capitale, étant désormais au Pakistan, Nehru confia trois ans plus tard la construction d'une nouvelle capitale à une équipe dirigée par Le Corbusier. En photographiant Chandigarh à partir de 2010, l'intention de Manuel Bougot était de faire un portrait intime de la ville en figeant sur la pellicule exclusivement des intérieurs privés et administratifs. Mais face à l'architecture impressionnante des sites et notamment celle du Capitole Complex, qui regroupe la Haute cour de justice, l'Assemblée législative et le Secrétariat général, ce projet a évolué pour raconter cette ville que ses habitants appellent "The City Beautiful". Manuel Bougot s'est attaché à montrer l'appropriation par les Indiens de cette architecture occidentale et, au-delà, la confrontation de deux cultures que tout semblerait opposer, faisant un état des lieux soixante ans après la naissance de cette capitale prévue pour cinq cent mille habitants et qui en compte aujourd'hui plus de deux millions. A des années-lumière de l'idée que l'on se fait des grandes villes indiennes, au coeur de la densité minérale des bâtiments en béton, Chandigarh exhibe de magnifiques espaces verts, des parcs luxuriants où écureuils et singes se promènent en liberté et où les habitants font leur jogging quotidien. C'est cette capitale originale, le plus grand chantier de Le Corbusier, que nous restitue le photographe, dans ce livre auquel contribuent également l'historienne de l'architecture Caroline Maniaque, et l'architecte indien Balkrishna Doshi, Pritzker prize 2018, qui accompagna Le Corbusier dans cette aventure hors norme.
