The Open Hand Monument in Chandigarh, India The Open Hand (La Main Ouverte) is a recurring motif in Le Corbusier's architecture, a sign for him of "peace and reconciliation. It is open to give and open to receive." The largest of the many Open Hand sculptures that Le Corbusier created is a 26 meter high version in Chandigarh, India known as Open Hand Monument.
17. •Besides determining the city's urban form, Le Corbusier, as the "Spiritual Director" of the entire Chandigarh Capitol Project, was also responsible for designing the key ‘Special Areas' of the city, each of which contains several individual buildings. •The most significant of these is the ‘Capitol Parc' - the ‘head' and la raison d'être of the entire enterprise. •A parallel undertaking - one of almost equal significance as the Capitol, was Le Corbusier's design of the city's ‘heart', the City Centre. In time, the design of the ‘Cultural Complex' along the ‘Leisure Valley', including the Government Museum and Art Gallery and the College of Art (L-C's Centre for Audio-visual Training), as well as some other smaller works (such as the Boat Club and parts of the Sukhna Lake, which essentially were seen as integral parts of the Capitol parc) were also undertaken by him.
18. National Museum of Western Art •The National Museum of Western Art is the premier public art gallery in Japan specializing in art from the Western tradition. •The Museum is located in the museum and zoo complex in Ueno Park in Taito, central Tokyo. •This popular Tokyo museum is also known by the English acronym NMWA (National Museum of Western Art). •Externally the building is clad in prefabricated concrete panels which sit on U-shaped frames supported by the inner wall. •The building generally is constructed of reinforced concrete and the columns have a smooth concrete finish.
19. •The museum is square in plan with the main body of the galleries raised on piloti to first floor level. The layout is influenced by Le Corbusier's Sanskar Kendra museum in Ahmedabad which was being designed at the same time. •Entrance for visitors is at ground floor level via the 19th Century Hall. •This double height space is lit from above with a north glazed pyramidal skylight intersected with reinforced concrete beams and a column. •On the opposite side of the hall from the entrance, the ascent to the paintings gallery is via a promenade ramp which affords better views of Rodin's scupltures. •The paintings gallery wraps around 19th Century Hall, the ceiling is initially low but is raised to two storeys around the perimeter to display the paintings.
20. •There are also balconies at this level that push back into the 19th Century Hall to re-orient the visitor. •Le Corbusier designed the paintings gallery to be lit by natural daylight via four lighting troughs, but these are no longer used and the galleries are now artificially lit.
