Explanation

Le Corbusier, the Swiss-French architect, designed Chandigarh in the 1950s after India's partition required a new capital for Punjab. He planned the city with his signature modernist style, creating the Capitol Complex, Sector grid system, and iconic buildings like the High Court and Secretariat. Edwin Lutyens designed New Delhi, not Chandigarh.
