Berluti films in Chandigarh's Neelam Theatre

In 2019, the French leather maker and fashion house Berluti came to Chandigarh for a photoshoot. They filmed in Le Corbusier's Capitol Complex, and in Aditya Prakash's Neelam Cinema, which is the center-piece of Sector 17, the commercial heart of Chandigarh.

This blueprint, found in the archives of the Fondation Le Corbusier, is the original drawing made by Aditya Prakash for Neelam Cinema. Although modifications were made during construction, Neelam Cinema remained true to the basic dimensions and forms of this drawing.

HERE is the link to the beautiful Berluti photoshoot.
