yankeefan21 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 corbusier never made skyscraper. get the facts right at least. I know. I'm such a tool. Le Corbusier loved Manhattan... He once proposed replacing a large part of the center of Paris with 18 sixty-story towers; that made headlines too. "Modern town planning comes to birth with a new architecture," he wrote in a book titled simply Urbanisme... People would live in hygienic, regimented high-rise towers, set far apart in a parklike landscape... Above all, everything should be done on a big scale — big buildings, big open spaces, big urban highways. He called it La Ville Radieuse, the Radiant City. Despite the poetic title, his urban vision was authoritarian, inflexible and simplistic. Wherever it was tried — in Chandigarh by Le Corbusier himself or in Brasilia by his followers — it failed. Source: Time Magazine What? WHAT?? The Cartesian sky-scraper, designed by Le Corbusier in 1938, is a type of tower building known for its modern and rational design. This type of modern administration building has its source in the first sketches for the Pavillon de L'Esprit Nouveau in 1919, which proposes a cruciform form for skyscrapers, radiating light and stability. :o United Nations Headquarters: The committee considered 50 different designs before arriving at a decision. The basis for the final design was based on Le Corbusier's design, known as "Scheme 23A." Maybe if you studied more you'd know about these minor details of his career? :confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Godfather Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 In my opinion, the extravagant heights of Le Corbusier's skyscrapers had no reason for existence apart from the fact that they had become technological possibilities; the open spaces in his central areas had no reason for existence either, since on the scale he imagined there was no motive during the business day for pedestrian circulation in the office quarter. By mating utilitarian and financial image of the skyscraper city to the romantic image of the organic environment, Le Corbusier had, in fact, produced a sterile hybrid. Yea but yankeefan, did you know that Le Corbusier taught at his old school in La-Chaux-de-Fonds during World War I, not returning to Paris until the war was over. During these four years in Switzerland, he worked on theoretical architectural studies using modern techniques. Among these was his project for the "Dom-ino" House (1914-1915). This model proposed an open floor plan consisting of concrete slabs supported by a minimal number of thin, reinforced concrete columns around the edges, with a stairway providing access to each level on one side of the floor plan. I bet you didn't know all that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FishFanInPA Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'm not ruling out 18 or 19 year olds either....only caveat....have to be out of high school....Can't date a HS Senior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeefan21 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I bet you didn't know all that! Ha! Not only did I know all that, but I could also add that in the first issue of the journal, in 1920, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret adopted, Le Corbusier, an altered form of his maternal grandfather's name, "Lecorb?sier", as a pseudonym, reflecting his belief that anyone could reinvent oneself. Some architectural historians claim that this pseudonym translates as "the crow-like one." Adopting a single name to identify oneself was in vogue by artists in many fields during that era, especially among those in Paris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
