Film: “Le Corbusier”

A documentary on the French/Swiss Architect and Urban Planner Le Corbusier; called one of the pioneers of modern architecture. Le Corbusier’s controversial ideas on architecture and urban planning were hotly contested during his time by greats such as Salvador Dali, Jan Jacobs and Lewis Mumford. While Le Corbusier was one of the few to recognize the future importance of the automobile, his emphasis on the new technology was seen as creating isolation and destroying connectivity. Using his five points of architecture, Le Corbusier designed whole cities of skyscrapers with vast lawns between them.
