The Capitol Complex designed by Le Corbusier in
Sector 1, which stands aloof dominating the city, is the seat of the government.
It is the joint headquarters of Punjab and Haryana. The three main geometrical
buildings in this complex are the Legislative Assembly, the High Court,
and the Secretariat. Besides these three majestic edifices, there are
also a number of monuments based on Corbusier’s personal philosophy. Separated
by large piazzas, the subtle and most evocative grouping of these buildings
is of breath-taking beauty.
