Rajendra Park Rajendra Park has been studied as the case. Located in the north of Chandigarh, the 1-km2 park was designed in Le Corbusier’s original plan as part of the capitol. On the southwest, Rajendra Park connects the city by stretching the green to Leisure Valley. On the southeast, it continues the design language from capitol complex in a monumental way. Outside of the northeast of the park, farmland extends its field till Shivalik Hill. While along the northwestern boundary, the village Nayagaon has been growing rampantly for years.

Landscapes Diversity In Le Corbusier’s original plan, Chandigarh was designed as a “Garden City“. Today, it’s known by its successful landscape creation. In this project, Rajendra Park will become a connector between Chandigarh and the agricultural lands. We applied the landscape textures from Chandigarh and the agricultural lands to Rajenndra Park. Users in Rajendra park can feel this unique landscape feature, the park integrated into the city and the city integrated into the park.
