The Building Drawn to Train Engineers | ISTC Chandigarh, Since 1963 #Shorts
#Shorts
Chandigarh, the late 1950s. A new capital is rising on the plains of Punjab.
Inside the Capital Project office, a young Indian architect, Aditya Prakash, drew a building with one purpose. Not a monument. A workshop. Long rows of skylights, so daylight falls on every bench where engineers will be trained.
It became the Indo-Swiss Training Centre. Since 1963, generations of toolmakers and engineers have learnt their craft here.
The lines he drew still hold. 🏛️
