Towards new buildings
Author: (French) Le Corbusier
Translated by Chen Zhihua
Introduction:
The history of thousands of years of architecture is nothing more than the history of the emperors and generals of the palace temple...
And the author is concerned with the ordinary and ordinary dwellings used for ordinary and ordinary people, treating them as the basic level of architecture and allowing the palace to collapse.
He cared about the human dimension, emphasizing the restoration of the basis of humanity, the standards needed, the functional standards, the emotional standards, and he thought that this was everything. He proposed that architecture must take the road of popularization, industrialization and functionalization, opposed the classicism of false decoration, put forward the epoch-making saying that "the house is a machine for living people", and established the aesthetic concept of modern architecture "engineer aesthetics".
His thoroughness and firmness, his earth-shattering theories and concepts, have had a significant and profound impact on the formation and development of modern architecture in the world.
