In 1954, Le Corbusier and the town planner P.L. Verma built Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh.Le Corbusier insisted on the prohibition of motorboats and Pierre Jeanneret designed a paddle boat specifically designed for the lake. After the death of Pierre Jeanneret, his ashes were scattered in Chandigarh’s Sukhna Lake.These stories are the starting point for an artistic intervention.In September 2019, was made a replica of Pierre Jeanneret’s paddle boat, based on the information gathered on site ( such as photographs, plans, or testimonials from artisans who have potentially collaborated with Pierre Jeanneret)
The boat was then developed with local craftsmen.The final construction is deliberately approximate since it depends on the know-how and materials available.

The city of djinns
In the niches and alcoves of Feroz Shah Kotla, believers pray, light candles and write letters to djinns. For the faithful, these spirits made of fire listen patiently and can solve any problem. Visiting them on Friday is a guarantee of prayers being heard.
Formerly identified as a Locrian colony, named by Thucydides, it became a medieval village, a refuge for Byzantine monks, and soon became a flourishing centre for craft and farming activities, such as silk processing and the development of orange and olive groves. The first water mills were built according to the most advanced techniques.
Built from yellow brick with red-brick and stone dressings, timber and steel, there were altogether "13 single-storeyed barracks..., 15 double-storeyed modern structures, 12 brick quarters, 6 bungalows ... and 8 godowns" within the Red Fort complex (Red Fort, 81). They were, of course, markedly different from the original palace's structures, two of which can be seen above: on the far left is the edge of a marble pavilion, and on the right a sandstone one that stands in a great tank, reminding us of a time when water channels coursed through elaborate formal gardens.
