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 materials of city planning are: sky, space, trees, steel and cement; in that order and that hierarchy.

My research is like my feeling directed towards what is the principal value in the life, the poetry.

Cameras get in the way of seeing.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

The present moment is creative, creating with an unheard-of intensity.

When does a building actually become a built?
