520			_a"In 1960, Brasilia was celebrated as the realization of an urban-planning vision based on designs by Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer. At the same time, the city of Chandigarh, rationally laid out in sectors, was taking shape according to plans by Le Corbusier. The 'test-tube city' arose as an export of modernity from a Western planning euphoria that reveals utopian traits. Living with Modernity examines how modernism has been appropriated in the two cities. Commonalities and differences are identified while images of everyday urban life are showcased in photographs by the acclaimed photographer Iwan Baan. In his engaging essay EX NIHILO: A Tale of Two Cities the Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom reflects on the city as a man-made environment and describes how these drawn-up concentrations of human beings are changed and claimed by their inhabitants as their own over time"--Back cover. "First published by Lars Müller in 2010 and now highly collectible, Brasilia-Chandigarh receives a new printing in a compact format. Dutch photographer Ivan Baan (born 1975) was originally commissioned by the publisher to document two urban planning experiments undertaken in the 1960s: Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer's Brasilia and Le Corbusier's Chandigarh. In both cities, foreign architecture commingled with indigenous culture. This publication addresses how these two cities were transformed into works of modernism, and how the people who live in them acclimated accordingly. Baan's photographs reflect the questions and perspectives of the people who contextualize the spaces that surround us. This compact format includes essays by Cees Nooteboom on Baan's photographs and by Martino Stierli on the architectural and planning history"--
