Discover Chandigarh through the visionary lens of Pierre Jeanneret, the Swiss architect who dedicated 11 years living here to develop the first of its' kind modernist utopia alongside Le Corbusier, infusing socialist ethos of functional design. We'd explore Jeanneret’s contributions that define the city’s soul, crafting 14 categories of socialistic housing, educational schools, institutes & the university, including the Gandhi Bhawan, with insider guided access. Breathe in the concept of sub-urban relaxing garden cities, with peace, order & cleanliness nowhere else in India. Observe the curves, stones, raw bricks play with a climate-responsive design (with ventilated mesh screens and shaded verandas), providing affordable homes for all classes, reflecting his belief that aesthetic dignity belongs in every building, from humble residences to Punjab University’s campuses. Join me in the experiment of socialism where Jeanneret’s legacy of art, architecture, & social good endures in every brick and beam.
*Pickup in comfortable clean AC car (I am the driver) * Inside guided tour of the first house ever built in Chandigarh, the private residence of Pierre Jeanneret still preserved in its original form * Stop for the best single origin arabica coffee India has to offer! * Insider exclusive tour of the Gandhi Bhawan, lotus-inspired silhouette auditorium floating above a reflective pool. Guided walking tour of the whole university’s intimate, human-centric climate responsive architecture * Having brunch at an authentic local Chandigarh exclusive eatery that's clean & delicious * Insider guided tour of the Government Museum & Art Gallery, housing Gandhara sculptures, Pahari miniatures, modern Indian art, rare blueprints, models, & photographs of Chandigarh’s creation * Walk in sector 17’s contemporary bazaar & see how residents utilize public space. Insider access to a now abandoned theater designed by Pierre’s team while talking about the story of the city's gentrification over the years with local ice cream

My comfortable, clean AC car provides a very comfortable cruising transport. I am a careful, calm and rules-abiding driver. Sit back and relax. Pickup and drop included.
Chandigarh, Chandigarh, India
Sector 17 is the central spot in the heart of the city. It is easily accessible from every location, and can also be reached via Uber. However, I am very flexible and can come pick you up from the Airport, Railway station and your hotel or Airbnb
