the old jeanneret is a purist with a machine aesthetic yearning to become a calculator.
there's nothing wrong with public plazas.
stop repeating yourself. you're not fun to think about.
architecture is plastic and experiential, but not dogmatized by universality, so stop critcising utopian solutions for lack of ingenuity.

Worth the read just for Le Corbusier's description of the effects that a building has on the psyche's of its users. Lots of great line drawings. When reading, remember that the book is a collection of magazine articles, hence the repitition that occurs from chapter to chapter. The book should have been only half as long as it is; a lot of unnecessary filler.
Eye opening and excellent September 29, 2005

While known for at times overstating his case, Le Corbusier still makes a well-thought and passionate statement for the impact and value of architecture in the 20th (and now 21st century). The book is a fast, engaging read and frighteningly topical for something that was written almost a century ago.
