The villa is robust and comes forth with an expression. It requires courage and strength to take up a big step to freeze Le Corbusier in printed format. This book is a thorough examination of the least known of Le Corbusier's buildings in India, Villa Shodhan in Ahmedabad. As a privately owned home it has been protected from fame and only a few have been granted access to this fantastic villa, the last one to be designed by Le Corbusier.”
