Chandigarh, India
As an adolescent, Chand left home to live with an uncle and attend high school. Once he graduated, he returned to his family’s village and became a farmer. However, after the partition of India when British rule came to an end in 1947, Chand’s Hindu family was forced to flee their village, which fell within the borders of Muslim Pakistan. In 1955 Chand settled in Chandigarh, the capital of both Punjab and Haryana states. The city was in the process of being rebuilt by Swiss architect Le Corbusier, who had been chosen by the Indian government to design a metropolitan capital from scratch. Chand found a job as a roads inspector in the public works department. Beginning in 1958, in his spare time, Chand started to collect materials for a garden he envisioned building in a forest abutting the city. For 18 years he navigated the city and countryside by bike to find rocks and stones, recycled waste from trash heaps, and debris from the 20 or so small villages that had been leveled to create the new city. In 1965 he began to build the garden and organize the space. Because it was protected public land, designated as a no-building zone by the government, Chand worked illegally, in secret.
