Leg 5 / Etapa 5

Chandigarh

We were looking forward to seeing Chandigarh. We studied at university about that and read a lot about the modern architecture of Chandigarh.

• Capital of two states: Punjab and Haryana
• Built in the 1950s
• The first planned city of India
• Projects of:
  • Le Corbusier (the second architect of the city)
  • Pierre Jeanerette
  • Matthew Nowicki (after his death, Le Corbusier was involved)
  • Albert Mayer (made Initial plan of the city)
• Disappointed with architecture and atmosphere of the city. It doesn’t fit with the ambience of India.

Chandigarh

Bilo je to jedno od glavnih mesta koje smo hteli da vidimo obzirom da smo o tome ucili na fakultetu i citali dosta o modernoj arhitekturi Chandigarh-a.

• Glavni grad dve drzave: Punjab and Haryana
• Izgradjen sredinom 20 veka (1950s)
• Prvi planski izgradjen grad u Indiji
• Projektanti:
  • Le Corbusier
  • Pierre Jeanerette
  • Matthew Nowicki (posle njegove smrti, u posao je usao Le Corbusier)
  • Albert Mayer (napravio pocetni plan grada)
• Licno sam razocaran arhitekturom I atmosferom u gradu; kao da je pao sa Marsa. Odudara od svega u Indiji.  Nije prilagodjen ambijentu.

New Delhi

We spent a week in New Delhi.  We were trying to see as much as possible mostly using taxi for transport.  Even for us, it was a cheap way of visiting the area.  We would take taxi for a full day.

New Delhi

U Nju Deljiju smo proveli nedelju dana. Gledali smo da vidimo sto je moguce vise od Delhija uglavnom koristeci taxi kao transport.  Cak I za nas to je bio najjeftiniji nacin da posetimo sva vazna mesta. Taksi bismo iznjamili na po citav dan.

Gandijev Park;
