This is the audio version of the blog post 'Contested Spaces: Capturing Modernist Architecture In Postcolonial India'. The post was written by Corinna Summers, who did a student placement with the digitisation project, and was first published on 1 February 2020. The audio version is read by digitisation volunteer Christopher Williams.
In this blog, Corinna discusses the "relationship between the aesthetics of architecture and its social function", prompted by photographs of buildings designed by French architect Le Corbusier and his team in the 1950s in Chandigarh, northern India.
