About Buildings + Cities

32 — Le Corbusier – 6 – Urbanism — Let's Demolish Paris (Again)


Listen Later

The concluding part of our discussion of ‘Urbanism’ (1925) — we look at the proposals for a Contemporary City for Three Million (1923), and the notorious Plan Voisin (1925). For Le Corbusier’s detractors, these are really the crimes of the century. We did our best to think of something nice to say about them.
