The city of Chandigarh was planned based on Le Modulor which is one of the most extensive measurement systems invented in 20th century by Le Corbusier. The spirit of the city lies in Le Modulor itself. Apart from the monumental buildings of Chandigarh the government housings also used Le Modulor in its sections and elevations in the initial phase. The study focuses on the government housings of the city which were based on this system of scale and proportions but with time and need for more housings the spirit of Le Modulor is lost. The need for more space led to the removal of Le Modulor from the housings which is shown in the study. Thus, the hypothesis argues on the aspects which can be used to revide the spirit of Le Modulor in these government housings keeping in mind the need of the inhabitants in the contemporary scenario. There will be a set of guidelines proposed after an extensive study of the current government housings in Chandigarh based on Le Modulor.
