From the perspective of an architect: Corb's first point is exactly his first mistake. He was taken in by advancing technology and idealized it abstractly, which is a mistake in itself. I'll repeat his first point: "The ground floor of the house, like the street, belongs to the automobile. Therefore, housing is raised on pilotis (columns) to allow, the the vehicle's movement or the green continuity." He failed to understand, though he traveled Europe extensively, that a villa's first relationship is with the earth. A villa's existence is outside the urban context for precisely this reason; therefore, to create a villa outside of a urban settlement and take it and its inhabitants off of the earth is a fundamental disaster, his clients got suckered into. As a result, he was able to give his clients a large concrete terrace with a concrete table & a few concrete planters at the terrace and roof level. How wonderful is that! Add to this, thie extensive meaningless walls on the roof and calling it a garden is an insult to the clients intelligence; at the time they were asleep to the implications. His clients were disappointed by the building and abandoned it after only nine years. Corb could care less; he had bigger fish to fry. He urban dreams were a pretty pictures that aimed to stack humans into terribly designed housing with no grounding in reality, and it's sad to see the results of his modernist influence. Frank Llyod Wright had an Olympian understanding of humans and of what they need with respect to architecture and nature. For Wright, nature was fundamental to a building's creation; for Corb, generally, a building was to have minimal contact with nature; a grand failure of comprehending humans, as did all early modernists. Note that Corb inspired concrete Brutalism. I'm glad we're past that phase.
Nicely done! Thank you for this video. I happen to think Le Corbusier‘s work and ideas were a devastating wound to our society. I pray God protects and guides the fine men and women, professionals who work in demolition in correcting these painful lessons.
@LagiNaLangAko23 More beautiful Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Beaux Arts, and Art Nouveau buildings- anything except these ugly Modernist eyesores created by talentless hacks with no understanding of aesthetics.
I wholeheartedly agree with Point 5. I worked in an office building inspired by this architecture, with a center atrium. It was a very positive building to work in. For living however, 1 thru 4 contradicts much of Feng shui and THAT deserves more analysis.
THIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL WORK discussed in the most beautiful way. My thesis is based on parametric architecture. You simply opened the door of analysis explaining Le Corbusier from a parametric point of view.
I always thought there was a discrepancy between the free plan and the free facade... you see it well in this video - when the columns peel away from the facade, they occupy and influence the plan, however subtle that may be..
yes, but at the same time, they could be used for other purposes than just being structural pieces. I'm no architect, but I think a creative architect can find practical uses for interior columns. Plus, the quality of the materials has improved massively since 1926, so interior columns wouldn't even be needed.
This is a terrific video but I have a suggestion: The approach of the car in the animation doesn't capture the movement correctly (@49 seconds in the video). The video shows the car driving across the lawn and into the garage, but rather the car should approach the building from the other side, beneath the overhang and then turn following the radius of the ground floor, always underneath the overhang of the building.
Incredible CAD editing. Please do another one with a Frank Lloyd Wright post 1930 piece ! The SC Johnson building would be great!!!
that was one of the best videos i have ever watched, cheers.

I agree with you only with regard to point 1. That was a devastating mistake imo. The other points seem to be sensible and well used.
Former altar boy? Are you institutionalized or at least heavily medicated?
@LagiNaLangAko23 yes
I think you're wrong 100%.

I love point no. 5, give back in some way what you took.

Amazing explaination
simple, delicate and informative. such a good video.
Thank you for the pivotal insight into his architectural tenants.
You give me new eyes.
Thank you for this video😘. it helps me a lot
This is the best explaining for 5 point
fantastic animation
what software did u use for making this video?
After effect
This video is gold
best editing
Ma devo vederlo seriamente?! Ma DP
This is an awesome video. Do you know what program do they use to make the animations?
after effects
great work
best videos tnks
le corbusier was an amazing architect..|
amazing work
Visionary
Horrifying architecture, and Corbusier was it too...how can people like this dehumanizing architecture....smh
like it
Danke...
