Source text - French Le couple Chandigarh-Dhaka fait sens pour toute personne s’intéressant à l’architecture. Chandigarh est l’un des rares endroits où Le Corbusier a pu, dans les années 1950 et 1960, mettre en pratique ses idées à grande échelle ; il a laissé quelques bâtiments remarquables (notamment le Palais des Assemblées, la Haute Cour et le Secrétariat) tout en influençant la conception de nombreux autres1. À Dhaka, le fameux Louis Kahn a construit le bâtiment de l’Assemblée nationale (1962-1974), considéré comme l’un de ses chefs d’oeuvre. L’édifice propose une variations sur des formes géométriques simples, anguleuses ou circulaires. Le bâtiment principal comprend des tours trapues qui rappellent les forts moghols, dont on peut trouver les restes d’un exemplaire ailleurs dans la ville. Il trône, dans une symétrie appuyée, au milieu d’un immense parc qui l’éloigne d’autant plus de la ville qu’il est inaccessible au public. Chandigarh représente un geste encore plus fort puisque c’est toute une ville que l’architecte a dessinée. Il s’agit d’un projet empruntant beaucoup au modèle de la cité-jardin de Ebenezer Howard, mais avec une relecture personnelle de Le Corbusier.
(author: Jacques Levy, "Le passant inconsidéré. À la recherche de l’espace public en Asie du Sud" in EspacesTemps, 2011.)
Translation - English The two cities of Chandigarh and Dhaka make sense to everyone interested in architecture. Chandigarh is one of the rare places where Le Corbusier could, during the 1950s and 1960s, put his ideas into practice on a grand scale; he left some remarkable buildings, especially the Palace of Assembly, the High Court, and the Secretariat Building, all the while influencing the conception of many more. In Dhaka, the famous Louis Kahn built the National Assembly (1962 – 1974), considered to be one of his masterpieces. The building proposes some variations on simple geometric forms, either angular or circular. The principle building includes some sturdy towers reminiscent of Mogul forts, the remains of which can be found elsewhere in the city. It is enthroned, in a supported symmetry, in the middle of an immense park which distances it from the city as much as it renders it publicly inaccessible. Chandigarh is yet a stronger statement since it is the whole city which the architect designed. It is a project which borrows a lot from Ebenezer Howard's Garden City model, but with Le Corbusier's own personal interpretation.
