He conceived of the master plan with the Capitol Complex as the head, divided the rest of the city into political, industrial, commercial and educational zones. The four buildings in the Capitol Complex - the Courts, Secretariat, Legislative Assembly and Governor's Palace - were designed to complement each other. Le Corbusier showed his mastery of concrete in these monumental buildings which represent the democratic powers of the state.
