You know, it is life that is right and the architect who is wrong.

We must kill the street. We shall truly enter into modern town planning only after we have accepted this preliminary determination.

Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus of dead epochs.

The city of Chandigarh is planned to human scale. It puts us in touch with the infinite cosmos and nature. It provides us with places and buildings for all human activities by which the citizens can live a full and harmonious life. Here the radiance of nature and heart are within our reach.

The purpose of construction is TO MAKE THINGS HOLD TOGETHER; of architecture TO MOVE US.

By law, all buildings should be white.

Light creates ambience and feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.
