Palace of assembly -1951- Chandigarh in India by architect Le Corbusier

.
Palace of Assembly is a legislative assembly designed by noted architect Le Corbusier and located in Chandigarh, build around 1950s India . It is part of the The Capitol Complex , which comprises three buildings — Legislative Assembly. One of Le Corbusier’s most prominent buildings from India, the Palace of the Assembly in Chandigarh in India boasts his major architectural philosophies and style. “One of the interesting points to call attention to is the adoption of a circular form for the hall which seems contrary to the development of good acoustics. The Assembly Hall is made in a hyperbolic shell with an average thickness of 15 cm, constant throughout its surface, resulting in a very low cost and a minimum of weight (here the principle of industrial cooling towers has been applied to the architectural intentions). This shell does not terminate in a horizontal but in an oblique section which shall receive a metallic framework (aluminum). This framework will become a veritable physical laboratory destined to ensure the interplay of natural lighting, artificial lighting, ventilation and acoustic-electronic mechanisms.”

*Do NOT need an Introduction.

1- The Situated Work:
(two paragraphs in one page)
It composes a section that comprises various data relevant to the site, which may include, for example, climatic data, seasonal variation, scale, local population, dominant language, dominant religion, political structure, societal hierarchy, etc.

2- Typological and Stylistic Analysis:
(two paragraphs in one page)
That position the work relative to existing taxonomies. What is the building type (library?
theater? Museum?, mosque?) What is its dominant style? Describe how the work does and does not fit within the categories it can arguably be grouped within.

3- Anthropological Analysis:
(two paragraphs in one page)
This is similar to category 2, but specifically focused on the use and life of this particular building. Why was it constructed? How does it (or did it) function in the culture of which it was a part? If applicable, how was the building modified, adapted, weathered, or otherwise changed over time? If the building is now in disuse or no longer extant, what brought about its ruin (some careful conjecture on your part may be necessary here)? Why was it constructed? Why do or did people need it?

4- Experiential Projection
(two paragraphs in one page)
describing your conjecture of how the building would have been experienced at a time not long
after its construction when it was a vibrant, fully functioning part of its community. What was it

like to approach the building from a distance, how did one enter the building, what was the character of its spaces? Give careful attention to qualities of light, shadow, surface, sequence, framing, view, ornament, temperature, and sounds – in short, to the character or ambiance of the place. [Students have effectively used first-person narratives for this portion of the analysis, though that is not required.]

5- Material & Structural Analysis:
(two paragraphs in one page)
How does this (or did this) building stand?, explain the strategies that the designers/builders deployed to make the building stable, lasting, and resilient. What materials are used in the building? How are those materials worked or finished? How did they weather over time? How were the building materials made or harvested?

–Format–
1- Use Chicago-style format.
2- *All sources must be referenced, using Chicago style footnotes in the bottom of every page.
3- Need a bibliography page.
4- Paragraphs should be organized in the order as given here.
*Do not use difficult vocabularies. -for international student-.

*Keep it simple and easy to understand, and do not go really deep.

Sources:
Don’t limit yourself to books. JSTOR and ARTSTOR are often useful starting points here. At least two books, and at least three journal articles –be sure to include these in the bibliography. Please do not get information from Wikipedia, (It happened once with me).

Note ** The papers will be entered into a database for plagiarism evaluation by specialized software, which highlights suspicious passages, lists likely sources, and projects the likelihood that suspect passages have been lifted from other sources.

Thank You.
