Le Corbusier was a pioneering modern architect known for his Five Points of Architecture and modular design system called the Modulor. Some of his most notable works include the Villa Savoye in France, the Unite d'Habitation housing blocks, and the Ahmedabad Textile Mill Owners' Association Building in India. The ATMA Building commissioned in 1954 features a dramatic entrance ramp, brise-soleil sun shades, and curving interior walls that define the auditorium space. It exemplifies Le Corbusier's principles of modern architecture through its exposed concrete structure, manipulation of interior spaces, and emphasis on visual transparency and air flow.
This is an Architectural case study on the Centre for Environment Planning & Technology (CEPT) building. Situated in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This is done by an architecture student in semester 5.
Baker studied architecture in Birmingham and graduated in 1937, aged 20, in a period of political unrest for Europe.During the Second World War, he served in the Friends Ambulance Unit in China and Burma.He worked as an architect for an international and interdenominational Mission dedicated to the care of those suffering from leprosy. He focused on converting or replacing asylums once used to house the ostracized sufferers of the disease - "lepers".He Used indigenous architecture and methods of these places as means to deal with his once daunting problems.
Baker's designs invariably have traditional Indian sloping roofs and terracotta Mangalore tile shingling with gables and vents allowing rising hot air to escape curved walls to enclose more volume at lower material cost than straight walls.Designing and building low cost, high quality, beautiful homes
Suited to or built for lower-middle to lower class clients.
Irregular, pyramid-like structures on roofs, with one side left open and tilting into the wind.Brick jali walls, a perforated brick screen which utilises natural air movement to cool the home's interior and create intricate patterns of light and shadow.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

ATMA - Le corbusier
1. LE CORBUSIER
(1887 – 1965)
Few architects have embodied the hopes
and disillusionments of the industrial age
as Le Corbusier did.
He was one of the first professional
architects to ply his trade on several
continents at once, looming as an
internationally recognized architect.
Between the Fallet House, built in 1906-
07, and his posthumous projects, the
unremitting production spanning six
decades never ceases to amaze.
Pioneer of the modern architecture
2. Birth Name - CHARLES EDOUARD JEANNERET
Birth Place - Neuchâtel canton in north-western
Switzerland in 1897
Time period - October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965
Mother’s Name - MARIE CHARLOTTE
(occupation – Piano teacher)
Father’s Name - GEORGE EDOUARD JEANNERET
(occupation- crafts men)
Nationality – French
To distinguish his work as an architect from his work as a painter or critic and theorist, Jeanneret
took the pseudonym
LE CORBUSIER.
3. - His early education was focused on visual arts.
- At the age of 13, he left school to learn his father's trade, of engraving and enamelling of watch faces.
Here, he learned drawing and history of art by the Charles L'Eplattenier, who suggested him to become an
architect.
- In 1907-11, He took a number of trips around Europe during which he discovered the classical proportions of
Greece and those used by Andrea Palladio (1508-80).
- In 1905 at the age of seventeen he designed his first building Villa fallet on the outskirts of la chaux- de- fonds,
Switzerland

5. In 1907, he traveled to Paris, where he
worked in the office of Auguste Perret, the
French pioneer of reinforced concrete.
In 1908, he studied architecture
in Vienna with Josef Hoffmann.
Between October 1910 and March 1911,
he worked near Berlin for the renowned
architect Peter Behrens, where he
met Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter
Gropius
His ideas on building design were
influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's
Prairie Houses, the AEG works of Peter
Behrens, the concrete, glass and steel
designs of Walter Gropius.
"Design is not about decorating functional forms - it is about creating forms that accord with
the character of the object and that show new technologies to advantage“ -Peter Behrens

Modern Architecture
The Five Points of
Modern Architecture
FIVE POINTS OF ARCHITECTURE
• RAISED STRUCTURE
• A FREE FACADE
• OPEN FLOOR PLAN
• RIBBON WINDOWS
• ROOFTOP GARDEN
“The house is a machine for living in”
THE MODULOR
• It is an anthropometric scale based on
a English man with his arm raised.
• Le Corbusier explicitly used the golden
ratio in his modular system for the
scale of architectural proportion

11. • ARCHITECTURAL STYLE – MODERN
• LOCATION – AHMEDABAD , GUJARAT , INDIA
• COMPLETION YEAR – 1954
• ALTERNATIVE NAME – ATMA BUILDING
• HISTORY :
Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of the newly
independent India, ordered up a new provincial capital for the
Punjab state after Lahore was lost to Pakistan in the 1947
partition. He envisioned an entirely modern metropolis to mark
India’s entry into the modern world and a clean break from
Britain’s colonial rule.
Nehru first chose a US team led by architects and planners Albert
Mayer and Matthew Nowicki. But after Nowicki died in a plane
crash, Nehru turned to the Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier, a
leader in 20th-century modern architecture, who jumped at the
chance to design a city from scratch.
He was invited to Ahmedabad by mayor Chinubhai
Chimanbhai. Surottam Hutheesing, then president of Ahmedabad
Mill Owners' Association, commissioned Corbusier to build the
new headquarters of the association. It was completed in 1954.
12. • DESIGN AND PHILOSOPHY :
1. AMOA HAD PROVIDED AN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE CLOSE FAMILY TIES OF THE CITY’S LARGELY JAIN, TEXTILE
MILL OWNERS. CORBUSIER EXPRESSED THE INSTITUTION’S DUAL CHARACTER - THE PUBLIC AND THE PRIVATE - THROUGH HIS
CONCEPT OF THE A HOUSE AS A PALACE.
2. A CEREMONIAL RAMP MAKES FOR A GRAND APPROACH INTO A TRIPLE HEIGHT ENTRACE HALL.
3. ARRIVAL IS ON THE FIRST FLOOR WHERE THE EXECUTIVES OFFICE AND BOARDROOMS ARE LOCATED.
4. THE GROUND FLOOR HOUSES THE WORK SPACES OF THE CLERKS AND A SEPARATE SINGLE STOREY CANTEEN.
13. 5. ON THE THIRD FLOOR , IS A HIGH TOP LIT AUDITORIUM WITH A ROOF CANOPY AND A CURVED ENCLOSING WALL .
6. THE EAST- WEST FACADES ARE IN THE FORM OF BRISE-SOLEIL , WHICH AVOIDS THE HARSH SUN AND ALLOWS THE
FLOW OF WIND AND VISUAL CONNECTION TO THE OUTER ENVIRONMENT.
7. WHILE BRISE-SOLEIL ACT AS FREE FACADES MADE OF ROUGH SHUTTERED CONCRETE, THE NORTH-SOUTH FACADES
ARE BUILT IN ROUGH BRICKWORK, ALMOST UNBROCKEN.
8. ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THE LOBBY IS TREATED AS OPEN SPACES AND THE AUDITORIUM AS AN ENCLOSED SPACE
FORMED BY SOFT, CURVILINEAR FORMS.
14. • Creation of a eccentric linear axis through ramp in connection with
the square symmetrical plan.
• Manipulation of spaces through height differences e.g. Triple height
at the entrance hall.
• Use of sun breakers or brise-soleil to obstruct direct sunlight at the
same time take in ample amount of reflected light. This maintained
the visual transparency and also permitted good air circulation.
15. • The entire building is of exposed concrete with some elements in wood and steel painted in bright
colors to add contrast.
• Use of free standing curved walls and staircases to loosely define spaces.
• This building creates an example in modern architecture and also teaches that a building is much
more than its façade rather articulation of spaces is a greater challenge for an architect.
