3 December 1953, 26 April 1954, and 10 April 1989

- Part of a larger group of prints and other works from the design development process of Le Corbusier's unexecuted Villa Chimanbhai project, acquired from the Chimanbhai family. Included are photographs of a model, cut-outs sent to the client which demonstrate changes in the dimensions of individual rooms, and letters from the office of Le Corbusier to the client. Also includes a letter dated 1989 by B.V. Doshi indicating his interest in the project. The larger group of Chimanbhai material includes a model, which is not the model in photographs DR1990:0022:001 - DR1990:0022:004, and at least three series of prints -- some with annotated changes.
