Le Corbusier (1887–1965). Study for the Open Hand (La Main Ouverte), Chandigarh, India, 1951. Pencil drawing with dimensional annotations for the monument that became the symbol of the Capitol Complex of Chandigarh. Its conception dates from 1948.
The final monument was designed for the Capitol Complex of Chandigarh and completed in 1985, twenty years after Le Corbusier’s death. The Open Hand symbolizes “open to give and open to receive,” an idea associated by Le Corbusier with peace and reconciliation.

Among his principal collaborators during these years were Pierre Jeanneret (1896–1967). He was Le Corbusier’s closest collaborator between 1922 and 1940 and worked with him again on the Chandigarh project. In India, he played a fundamental role as chief architect of the project, supervising numerous buildings and training a generation of Indian architects. Many pieces of furniture designed for Chandigarh bear his signature. André Wogenscky (1916–2004), a French architect of Polish origin, was Le Corbusier’s principal collaborator between 1936 and 1956 and directed numerous projects during Le Corbusier’s travels. Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001), a Greek-French engineer, architect, and composer, worked at the Atelier between 1947 and 1959 and participated in projects such as the Convent of La Tourette and the Philips Pavilion for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. Georges Candilis (1913–1995), a Greek-French architect, was a member of the atelier between 1945 and 1952 and collaborated on post-war reconstruction projects and the Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. Shadrach Woods (1923–1973), an American architect, worked at the atelier between 1948 and 1951 before forming a partnership with Georges Candilis and Alexis Josic. José Oubrerie (1932–2024), a French architect, was one of Le Corbusier’s last direct collaborators and later completed the Church of Saint-Pierre at Firminy. Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente (1931–2008), a Chilean architect, collaborated with Le Corbusier between 1958 and 1965 and participated in projects such as the Hospital of Venice and various urban proposals from the architect’s final years.
Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was the co-author, together with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, of much of the celebrated tubular steel furniture.
