 (I’m speaking from my point of view… and may be I’m wrong in my opinions or provided information.)

Le Corbusier is the greatest son of a time. He did extra perfect job during his contemporary time being.
It was the time when modernism was in it’s move in every art media. And while in architecture Corbusier definitely made the biggest contribution ever for the mankind.
To understand the ‘philosophy’ of Corbusier we have to understand his life, social and political background of that time.
The concepts of entire world was changing then. Mass people moved against autocracy and colonialism and were heading towards individualism, capitalism and democracy. And the affect of these movements knocked down the previous concepts of art. Art for mass people was coming up. In this move communists theories of Vladimir Lenin and Carl Marks gave a different kind of boost. That is… art for proletariats. All art will speak up for the mass people, even for the root proletariats.
And thus the basic concepts of modernism came up in architecture by the hands of Corbusier. Vladimir Lenin and Le Corbusier sat in the same table several times. Corbusier worked in Russia for more than 5 projects during the communists movement there. Corbusier directly tried to translate the aim and mottos of communism in architecture. And that’s how the pure easily understandable and universal geometry of architecture what we see in modern building evolved.

He was also influenced by the paintings of Pablo Picasso. They had also a good relation with each other on that time. We can feel in Corbu’s paintings also. Picasso was the man who made the world of art to ‘think different’ about forms. Corbusier often picked up those concepts and morphologies of seeing perspective of forms.

I’ll try to give a literature on Corbu’s life on my next post, which is written by one his collogues of his office… describing Corbusier’s daily life, his working and thinking process, his emotional attachment with projects etc.

 For writing a thesis, you need to spend an enormous amounts of time on proofreading and fixing errors. Why not enlist some help from paytowritepaper to make this process much easier? In addition, they will complete it faster than you ever will, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.
