The group is surveying, photographing, sketching and describing the modern architecture of the city. The goal is to see how the modern city of Chandigarh could absorb the current and continuous growth of population.
These students belong to various countries including Spain, France, Hungary and Portugal. They are being accompanied by their teachers Thierry Mandoul and Clement Blanche.
The students will help in developing urban and architectural proposals which will integrate themes like preservation and sustainability.
This project, being done in collaboration with the Chandigarh College of Architecture, will be finalised in the summer of 2013.
