Am i the only one on this messageboard for electronic music, who thinks the buildings by this guy are ugly? I guess his buildings look like how people from the early 20th century imagined, the future would look like. I also guess his buildings are the IDM of architecture.. |

yea probably i do think a lot of post-modern architecture, or just architecture nowadays is stupid and pointless. just like with most art |

That's a weird thing to say about Le Corbusier, though, since his concerns were mostly utilitarian, and form follows function etc. |

i was just talking about other architecture there. (and don't know much about that guy anyway) |

Also he isn't "post-modernism" he is actually one of the first people to contribute to what was modernity. The shift from modernism to post-modernism did not come about until around the time of hyper-capitalism (the general though is around the 1980's). His buildings may not look amazing but he was one of the great contributors to a period when architecture began to become critical of itself and started to realize that it played a major role in cultural development as well as the way we humans interact with each other. I wouldn't say he was a form follows function kind of guy either, that was more of FLW's ethos. Corbusier was more concerned with generating a solution to the homelessness that spawned from WW1 and WW2 that would be cheap and easy to build. Modernity was also about destroying class, so the use of ornamentality was generally frowned upon ( this was a thought brought up by Adolf Loos. ) |

le corbusier is the greatest architect ever... or at least since Renaissance his architecture and urban theories have yet to be improved |

He may have had good intentions when he invented the projects buildings, but that doesn't count, they are just ugly piles of concrete and bricks. |

I agree monoid: his buildings are Ugly (the buildings I see when i google pictures of him) but the IDM of architecture? Thats sounds pretty stupid. Some IDM has great architecture/ soundscapes. |

Now THAT's what I'd call a human habitat! Just imagine the kinds of buildings you could connect that to. |

the first two buildings i google look pretty post-modern to me i know it's not the right time period. but isn't part of post-modernist things modernist looking things in the post-modern time anyway? |

what exactly does post modern mean to you big? They're not post modern because post modernism isn't modernism, and le corbusier is a modernist architect. They're not just labels, I mean, they're metanarratives, they try to account for general shifts in thought et al. It's clear to that there are big differences in thought between people in the first half of the last century to those living in the 1980s for example. This guy was born in the 1880s, ha! monoid, suck a dick. |

the non-straight lines and the organic forms make me think of post-modernism you're right though |

The grey concrete is fuckin ugly. The windows or whatever that on side is, are completly useless and make this thing look like a prison.The clumsy building looks like it was designed with Lego stones. |

you're right, I just picked the monastery quickly because I liked it. My friend tried to write music in accordance with le modular, not sure how far he got. interesting idea i suppose. |
||||||||

I was talking to big :) I didn't know about the monastery, it looks very neat, and I guess more Corbusier-like. |
