Le Corbusier: Plans
built 631 days ago
Le Corbusier did not fare well in international competition, but he produced town-planning schemes for many parts of the world, often as an adjunct to a lecture tour. In these schemes the vehicular and pedestrian zones and the functional zones of the settlements were always emphasized.

Corbusier assumed that the plan would garner support from capitalists interested in arresting the workers’ movements and instituting a factory-like discipline onto the whole of society. No one took him up on it. With the depressions of the late 1920s and a tepid reception from the industrials, Corbusier lost his faith in capitalism as the ultimate bearer of progress, at least in this stage of its evolution: the plans were sound, the capitalists were too immature to realize their validity.

The concept was created in the image of Corbusier himself, he went to a lot of trouble to accomodate those things which he himself loved to do; daytime activities like basketball and laying in the sun. Nowhere in the plan was mentioned bars, pubs, cabarets or niteclubs.
