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.

It is a question of building which is at the root of the social unrest of today: architecture or revolution.

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.

Chairs are architecture, sofas are bourgeois.

Cameras get in the way of seeing.

Architecture is the masterly, correct, and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light: light and shade reveal these forms.
