REVITALIZATION OF OLD ARCHITECT’S OFFICE, CHD
(9TH SEMESTER)
The objective was to restore & arrange for sustenance of Le Corbusier’s studio space in Chandigarh, now lying redundant on an expensive piece of land. The constraints laid down by stringent planning principles and facade control were adopted as governing principles of design. Documentation of the existing bye laws on the Madhya Marg formed a major part of the study before individual proposals were put forward. The decaying single storey building was refurbished for alternate functional aspects.
Approx area of the site - 3.4 acres (13760 sq.mt.)
FSI - 0.65
MAX. HEIGHT - 57'6" (17.46 mts.)
