Presentation transcript:

Creative Quotations from Le Corbusier (Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris) ( ) born Oct 6 Swiss architect, city planner; He pioneered functionalist architecture with the use of reinforced concrete and houses as a machine for living.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and allows less room for lies.

The materials of city planning are: sky, space, trees, steel and cement ; in that order and that hierarchy.

Our own epoch is determining, day by day, its own style. Our eyes, unhappily, are unable yet to discern it.

A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe and fifty times: It is a beautiful catastrophe.
