Le Corbusier: The Art of Architecture

By Sebastian J — Filed under: News , , ,
 

Easily regarded as one of the most adroit architects of 20th century, Le Corbusier was a relentless designer, urban planner and writer dedicated to industrializing almost every city he came across.

This spring The Barbican – London’s colossal multi-arts venue – is hosting an all-encompassing showcase of Le Corbusier’s work, a survey which will include an abundance of original models, interior settings, drawings, furniture, photographs, films, tapestries, paintings, sculpture and books designed and written by the architect himself. More of a celebration than an exhibition, the festivities include concerts, films, guest speakers and a photo competition all in his honor.

Recommended further reading: Working with Corbusier . A very entertaining article and inside view in the everyday office life of Le Corbusier. Unfortunatelly the promised follow-ups doesn´t seem to come, but maybe it is a mater of time.

I can not digest well the Corbusier, many years of saturation in architect formation created me “repulsion”

não consigo digerir muito bem o Corbusier, muitos anos de saturação em formação de arquitecto criou-me anticorpos
