Blessed with a rich terrain, Chandigarh is considered one of the best examples of urban planning. Carrying a heavy influence and inspiration for architects, designers, and urban planners, the architects in Chandigarh are contributing to the strong foundation laid by the French master architect, Le Corbusier, while incorporating their unique Indian touch and staying true to their roots.

Thus, the architects in Chandigarh have immersed themselves in a diverse context to work and deliver on. The Architect’s Diary has carefully curated a list of the top 45 architects in Chandigarh based on their expertise and line of work.
