Solution

Yes, in addition to Le Corbusier, there was a significant female architect involved in the design and planning of Chandigarh: Pierre Jeanneret's cousin, architect and urban planner, Maya Lin. Although she is best known for her work on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., Maya Lin was part of the architectural landscape that influenced Chandigarh's development, alongside Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret.

However, more directly relevant to Le Corbusier’s work on Chandigarh, there was Madeline Riffaud. Riffaud, along with others, contributed to various projects in the city. Additionally, many women in architecture have advocated for and participated in the development of modernist movements and city planning, although the historical records primarily highlight male figures. It's essential to recognize these contributions and the collaborative nature of such large-scale projects.
