Chandigarh College of Architecture Overview

The document summarizes the Chandigarh College of Architecture designed by Le Corbusier in 1961. It has a central courtyard planned around which are the classrooms, studios, and other facilities. The planning is introverted with the courtyard not well connected to the building. Brick is the primary material used for walls and columns, with concrete used for foundations, columns, beams and slabs. The south facade uses a geometric prefabricated curtain wall to reduce heat gain, with the corridor acting as a buffer zone.
