The director in an interview: "My intention was not only to tell the story of Le Corbusier's interactions with India, but also to analyse the architecture of the city and the buildings of Chandigarh and his lesser known, but no less significant, works in Ahmedabad. The idea was also to meet as many of Le Corbusier's assistants and associates who are still alive as possible. I also wanted to meet contemporary architectural historians and critics in order to get different perspectives on his works. I was not at
all interested in doing a purely laudatory film in which one praises a great man's works."
