head: In Sri Lanka, we head to Kandy with its verdant hills, and then Colombo with its chattering bourgeoisie, according to The Guardian. In India, Pinto takes us to Chandigarh and its elegantly experimental modernist buildings. Some of those places are tropical and alluring. Even in Paris and London, we are surrounded by the glamour of bohemians and their postwar parties. It's there that the illustrious Congr s Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne descended in 1947 for a conference.
