	Le Corbusier (1887-1965)
		Le Corbusier (afb.), oorspronkelijk Charles-Eduard Jeanneret [1], is op 6 october 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Zwitserland geboren.
		Le Corbusiers vader werkte als emailleerder van wijzerplaten voor de beroemde horlogeindustrie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, maar over de opleiding en de uitgeoefende beroep van zijn moeder is zich de literatuur niet eens [2].
		Het pseudoniem 'Le Corbusier' is afgeleid van 'Lecorbésier', de naam van Charles-Eduard Jeannerets overgrootmoeder en werd gebruikt door hem vanaf 1920 als auteur, vanaf 1922 als architect evenals in het burgerlijk leven en vanaf 1928 als schilderer.

	MODERNISM : ARTISTS : LE CORBUSIER
		LE CORBUSIER, born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret [1887-1965], is known today as one of the preeminent architects of the 20th century.
		Later in 1920 Le Corbusier and Ozenfant featured their discourse in their publication L'Esprit Nouveau, a magazine dedicated to the arts, and the view that the arts (architecture, painting, music, science and poetry) must be seen together and cannot be separated without some loss of appreciation of each.
		Le Corbusier was very much concerned with this concept of the total work of art, as evident in his enrichment of the visual arts with musical expression by commissioning music concrète from such avant-garde composers as Olivier Messiaen and Edgar Varèse.

	LeCorbusier
		Le Corbusier was born in 1887 in the Swiss watchmaking town of La Chaux de Fonds.
		Corbusier believed that the only way to impede a worker revolution was to formulate a machine for living, a dwelling that would bring the worker’s home life in line with the discipline of the factory.
		Corbusier’s individuals were not allowed to have a voice in the governance of their lives; they are able to behave, but not to act.

	From Here To Modernity Architects - Le Corbusier
		Le Corbusier is without doubt the most influential, most admired, and most maligned architect of the twentieth century.
		Soon, Le Corbusier was developing standardised housing 'types' like the 'Immeuble-villa' (made real with the Pavilion de l'Esprit Nouveau of 1925), and the Maison Citrohan (a play on words suggesting the building industry should adopt the methods of the mass production automobile industry), which he hoped would solve the chronic housing problems of industrialised countries.
		Le Corbusier was convinced that a rationally planned city, using the standardised housing types he had developed, could offer a healthy, humane alternative.

	Le Corbusier
		Le Corbusier was born Charles Édouard Jeanneret-Gris in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a provincial town of some 27,000 people in the Swiss Jura.
		Le Corbusier's commissions diminished considerably after the early 1930s, although at the same time he was hailed as the hero of modernism, or the International Style.
		Le Corbusier defined the Modulor as a "range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things." Time was also ripe for him to move from orthodox functionalism toward an expressionistic, anti-rational style, which borrowed from natural forms.

		The nation was poised, in Le Corbusier’s view, on a cusp between a first machine age—which it had brought into being, and the contradictions of which had caused the Depression—and a second.
		Le Corbusier’s simplistic conception of the country he was about to visit and his exalted view of his ability to influence public policy are nicely distilled in one of Bacon’s many adroitly chosen quotations.
		Le Corbusier’s provocative manner, which he maintained throughout the trip, was in part the act of a showman, and in part a reflection of his distress at what he found.

	THE ART DECO EXPOSITION
		In 1925, it was Le Corbusier whose pavilion outraged the sensibilities of the authorities, and set in motion a debate about modern architecture that has continued in Paris to this day.
		Here Le Corbusier and his associates erected the Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau, and announced that this spirit's program was "to deny decorative art, and to affirm that architecture extends to even the most humble piece of furniture, to the streets, to the city, and to all."
		In its place was Le Corbusier’s uncompromising vision of modernism: less playful, more severe, more demanding in its adherence to the dominating presence of pure Form.

	Architecture and Morality: Guilty? Le Corbusier in proper context
		Not only was Le Corbusier among the first to fully synthesize large ribbon windows, white planar walls, suspended floors, roof gardens, cubic volumes, and roof gardens into a new “International Style”, he also was also a passionate urban designer and theorist who most clearly illustrated and articulated modernist principles in planning.
		Predictably Le Corbusier’s proposals for mass housing and urban design were rejected outright due to their infeasibility and their radical departure from traditional styles.
		Le Corbusier may have been guilty of a failure to imagine the adverse psychological affects his urban plans and housing schemes, but it is the French social welfare system that is responsible for the reckless planning and execution of housing the underclass.

	Zeising and Le Corbusier
		However Le Corbusier does not yet recommend concrete proportions, but only to use tracés regulateurs, measure-rulers, to control the geometrical organisation of design, always façades in his examples.
		Le Corbusier developed a scale of proportions which he called Le Modulor, based on a human body whose height is divided in golden section commencing at the navel.The Modulor in Le Corbusier's story combines square and Golden Section, but as a result it does not offer anything else than a modular system.
		Le Corbusier's use of the Golden Section begins by 1927 at the Villa Stein in Garches, whose rectangular proportion in ground plan and elevation, as also the inner structure of the ground plan, approximately show the Golden Section.

		Le Corbusier had two particular interests related to TVA: the agency’s massive use of concrete, which was becoming his own trademark building material, and TVA’s experiments with town planning in places like Norris, Tennessee, and the workers’ village at Fontana Dam.
		It’s said that Le Corbusier visited Norris Dam, as most VIPs did in the ’40s, and that he was awed by its beauty.
