The Power of Utopia : Leben mit Corbusier in Chandigarh 除舊換新建新城:柯比意的 昌迪加爾
Kraft Der Utopie - Leben Mit Corbusier In Chandigarh

During the 1950s, Swiss architect Le Corbusier established the Indian city Chandigarh, which was designed as a harmonious blend of Western and Eastern influences. For some, it represented progress and a newly emerged democracy, but it remains unclear if Corbusier’s design was a success or a failure.The film follows four cultural workers living in the planned city. In a dense, atmospheric narrative, they reflect on Le Corbusier's legacy, utopian urban ideas, and cultural differences between East and West.

二十世紀五十年代,瑞士建築師 Le Corbusier 建立了印度城市昌迪加爾,該城市的設計和諧 地融合了西方和東方的影響。紀錄片講述了居 住在規劃城市的四名文化工作者的故事,以濃 墨重彩、大氣磅礴的敘事方式反思 柯比意的傳 承、烏托邦城市理念以及東西方文化差異。
