Le Corbusier's architectural work in India added a new dimension to the Indian experience about sixty years ago. He radically transformed the status of the architectural profession and meaning of architecture for the Indian architects. His work and philosophy left an indelible mark on the footprints of Indian Architecture.

Architecture is a continous process. The trends in architecture keep on changing with the advancements in technologies, building materials, ideas and concepts. Now, the architecture is at the threshold of change. It is time to evaluate and understand beyond modernism. We have to look at the modern ideals that energize our present and guide our approach to the future. This conference aims at addressing the several issues and challenges of Contemporary Architecture.
