Les Six

Les Sis The 1920’s were an extraordinary time in Paris. The war had ended. Musicians, artist, writers, poets, film-makers and choreographers were friends and influenced one another. There was a sense of optimism and excitement. Composers were finding inspiration in popular sources, circus music and jazz which was being heard for the first time. Les Six were a group of six young French musicians during this time; Arthur Honegger, Darius Mihaud, Francis Poulenc, Georges Auric, Louis Durey and Germaine

Moving towards the end of the passage, Le Corbusier’s final assertion in his self endorsed edict “A state of mind for conceiving mass-production housing.” Again one could argue Le Corbusier was inferring more so to a level of thought where there is no pre conceived notion of what a home or tower is, or even can be, only the task at hand and a mind to solve it. For instance, the ‘Dom-Ino’ system (Fig 4.1) he established in 1910 while touring the AEG factory you when applied rigorously and with strict

Although Le Corbusier and Vitruvius had important and crucial statements, I find that Vitruvius’ claims made more sense and is clearly more intensified that Le Corbusier’s minor statements. Vitruvius influenced the entire field of architecture and design by his statements, and not just by words. We can see the results of Vitruvius claims and drawings in buildings and temples and not just in words. His statements were put to life by the buildings that he was inspired to assume his claims.

selection of Architectural Manifestos, n.d) Le Corbusier believed architecture, sculpture and painting are dependent on space, as he discussed in his manifesto ‘Ineffable Space’ in 1948. (Gargiani Roberto, Rosellini Anna 2011) Louis Kahn, on the other hand, had a different view. In 1965-69 in his writing of ‘Architecture is the thoughtful making of spaces’ Kahn suggests that meaningful form characterises space. (A selection of Architectural Manifestos n.d) Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers for modern

“Architecture or Revolution,” in Le Corbusier belief the only way to avoid class-based revolution is industrialized architecture (Quirk, 2012). Le Corbusier (Charles Édouard Jeanneret) was born in an artistic family in 1877 in a small village in the Swiss. His mother was a pianist and his father was a designer of watch dials. He learned piano and father’s trade, however the man brought him to architecture was his teacher in La Chaaux-de-Fund. When he was thirteen, his teacher, L’Eplatenier, who opened

Did Le Corbusier herd cats: Totalitarian design in Post War Architecture Choose an architect or practice whose work is covered by or relevant to this course and discuss critically one or more of their design projects or drawings or urban proposals as precedent case-studies. Selectively situate this work in relation to their body of work, and against the practices and concerns of the period. Focus on the architectural qualities of a specific key aspect of the design of the projects. Selectively consider

is nothing new to depict with quite a few images dating back as far as the 1700’s featuring relations between women, but Le Sommeil is different in its boldness. No paintings before it were so frank about the nature of the women’s relationship. Le Sommeil toes the line of the status quo very closely in its depictions of women lovers, but while many scholars would argue that Le Sommeil is nothing more than fodder of the male gaze, the very nature of its subjects makes this one of the more subversive
