Everything in Chandigarh is designed and planned, from the furniture to the street signs to the houses and their layout. And amazingly, the structures have barely changed to this day. The city’s first “foundation stone” was laid in the creation of Chandigarh’s lake – 70 years later, we take the chance to talk to the last remaining witnesses of these beginnings. As filmmakers, we’re interested in how the urban planning and social visions of modern architecture have become reality, and how they have developed over time. How the collaboration between East and West and the enormous creative power of the design has impacted the cultural life of the city. We explore Chandigarh’s at a time when the world is in turmoil and searching for new ideas. What can we learn from this utopia today for today’s world?
