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.

Architects everywhere have recognized the need of ... a tool which may be put in the hands of creators of form, with the simple aim ... of making the bad difficult and the good easy.

When does a building actually become a built?

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

Modern life demands, and is waiting for, a new kind of plan, both for the house and the city.

To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.

I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.
