This document discusses the rise and principles of modernist design from the early 20th century. It provides examples of key modernist designers like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer who rejected ornamentation in favor of clean lines and an emphasis on function. Their work in architecture and furniture design embraced new industrial materials like steel, glass, and plastic to create simple, standardized forms. While modernism dominated design for much of the 20th century, the document also suggests it began facing criticism by the late 1970s for its potentially cold and inhuman aesthetic.
Le Corbusier designed the Maisons Jaoul in Paris between 1954-1956. The two houses, House A for Andre and Suzanne Jaoul and House B for their son Michel and his wife Nadine, featured Le Corbusier's signature Brutalist style with exposed concrete and an emphasis on his five points of architecture. Key elements included pilotis, a free floor plan, horizontal windows, a roof garden, and vaulted ceilings providing dramatic interior light.
In this class we look briefly at the wide-ranging career of Charles-Edouard Gris-Jeanneret, later known as Le Corbusier, from his early work in design to his architecture, urban planning schemes, and furniture.
This document provides a summary of the life, works, and philosophies of Swiss architect Le Corbusier. It outlines his key buildings such as the Villa Savoye and Unite d'Habitation which demonstrated his "Five Points of Architecture". It also discusses his works in India including the Capitol complex in Chandigarh, particularly the Legislative Assembly building. The document was compiled by FD Architects Forum in Jaipur, India and contains images and descriptions of Le Corbusier's major works to illustrate his contributions to modern architecture through his innovative designs and principles.
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.
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, was a pioneering Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture.

Le Corbusier was a pioneering modern architect from Switzerland who developed five key principles of modern architecture. Some of his most notable works that exemplified these principles included the Villa Savoye built in 1931, which featured pilotis supporting the structure above the ground level and a roof terrace. Another work was the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts built in 1963 at Harvard, which inverted the five principles by expressing them on the exterior rather than interior of the building. Both works featured open floor plans, horizontal windows, and detached facades not bound by the structure.

This document provides a detailed overview of Le Corbusier's Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, France. It describes the chapel's architectural features, including its sculptural concrete roof, asymmetrical facades that respond to the landscape, and use of light through small, irregularly placed windows. The summary highlights that the chapel creates a mystical interior space where light is the protagonist, and its organic forms and relationship to the landscape were a dramatic departure from traditional architecture.
The document summarizes Le Corbusier's design for the Pilgrimage Chapel at Ronchamp in eastern France in the 1950s. The chapel was intended to replace an earlier one destroyed by fire. Corbusier wanted to create an "ineffable space" that overwhelmed visitors with its lack of clear dimensionality and scale. The exterior has sculptural, curvilinear forms constructed of reinforced concrete. The interior is small and dark, contrasting with the bright white exterior. Natural light enters through thin slits in the raised concrete roof and irregular windows in the thick walls, creating a phenomenological experience for visitors.
He was an architect, designer, urbanist, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture.
He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities

Villa Savoye, completed in 1931, was designed by Swiss architect Le Corbusier as a private country house. It is considered one of the most influential buildings of the International style and cemented Le Corbusier's reputation. The villa was built according to Le Corbusier's five points of modernist architecture and became iconic for its use of pilotis, a roof garden, free floor plan, horizontal windows, and unconstrained facades. While pioneering modern design, the villa also proved complex to build and faced issues that highlighted tensions between new and traditional construction methods.
The Ronchamp Chapel designed by Le Corbusier in 1955 is located in Ronchamp, France and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was rebuilt after being damaged by fire and bombing. The simple concrete structure has an oblong nave with side entrances and axial altar. It features a sculptured Virgin Mary, southern windows, and a rough concrete roof supported by embedded columns. The design was inspired by praying hands, a ship, and other forms and uses light and decorations symbolizing opposites.

Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, known as Le Corbusier, was a Swiss-French architect and artist born in 1887. He was influenced by his artistic family and studied sculpture, painting, and architecture. After moving to Paris in 1917, he traveled extensively and apprenticed under other architects. His travels informed his visionary philosophy of architecture based on five principles: pilotis, free plan, roof terrace, horizontal windows, and free design. Some of his most famous works applying this philosophy include the Villa Savoye, Phillips Pavilion, and Notre Dame du Haut. The Villa Stein de Monzie built in 1926-29 for Michael Stein and Gabrielle Monzie in Garches

History Report on THE INDO SARACENIC ARCHITECTUREshubham sisodiya
The document provides an overview of the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture that emerged in British-ruled India in the late 19th century. It discusses how the style blended local Indian architectural elements with Islamic designs. It traces the origins of the style from studies conducted by British professionals on Indian architecture. It also examines how factors like climate, culture, and patronage from local rulers influenced the development and popularity of the Indo-Saracenic style. However, the style declined in the early 20th century after India's independence as new construction methods and budget constraints arose. The document uses two specific architectural examples, the Raza Library and Raja Ram High School, to illustrate characteristics of the Indo-Saracenic

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, was a Swiss-French architect who designed the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, France between 1950-1955. The chapel is located on a hilltop site with scenic views and featured expressive curved and textured concrete walls that give it an organic appearance. Inside, daylight filters through narrow slits in the walls to create a dramatic play of light and shadow throughout the space. The chapel demonstrates Le Corbusier's experimentation with form and light in his later works.

The document provides an overview of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs from 1933 to 1938 to address the Great Depression. It describes the three R's of the New Deal: Relief to provide immediate aid, Recovery through stimulus programs, and Reform through permanent regulations. Major New Deal agencies included the CCC, WPA, PWA, AAA, SEC, FDIC and Social Security. The New Deal faced criticism for not going far enough to help women and African Americans or being too socialist. By the late 1930s, the economy had recovered and union membership increased, but the recession of 1937 showed the recovery was not complete.
Art Nouveau was an international style of art, architecture and design that originated in Europe in the late 19th century. It is characterized by organic, flowing curvilinear forms and motifs inspired by nature such as flowers, leaves, seaweed and insects. Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain is one of the best examples of Art Nouveau architecture, designed by Antoni Gaudi between 1905-1907. Gaudi remodeled the existing building, adding unique polychrome ceramic tiles and balconies resembling bird nests. Both the undulating exterior and flowing interior of Casa Batlló reject straight lines in favor of natural, organic shapes and surfaces that mimic the contours of the human body or ocean waves. The
This document provides guidance on how to analyze visual texts. It explains that a visual analysis involves breaking down the different elements of a visual text, such as photos, advertisements, or websites, to understand how they communicate the intended message. The key steps are to describe the visual elements of the text, respond to one's initial reaction to it, and then analyze how each element contributes to the overall message being conveyed considering the audience and context. A strong visual analysis includes a clear thesis about the text's message and organizes the analysis of elements around supporting that thesis.
The document provides an overview of Art Nouveau, an international style of decoration and architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century characterized by flowing, sinuous lines depicting leaves and flowers. It discusses key features of Art Nouveau including organic and dynamic forms, curved designs, and avoidance of historical traits. Notable Art Nouveau practitioners and their works are mentioned for Britain, France, Spain, Vienna, and the US. Two examples of Art Nouveau architecture, Casa Mila in Barcelona and Hotel Guimard in Paris, are described in more detail to illustrate the dominant curved lines and arches as well as root-like designs.
Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1950s as an international style that rejected the minimalism and functionalism of modernism in favor of ornamentation, stylistic eclecticism, and references to historical elements. It became a movement in the late 1970s that continues to influence today's architecture. Postmodern buildings feature diverse aesthetics where styles collide and forms are adopted for their own visual interest over strict functionality. Key figures like Robert Venturi promoted this approach through works like the Vanna Venturi House, which challenged modernist orthodoxy through its manipulated scale and symbolic elements. Experimental groups like Archigram proposed futuristic visions through hypothetical mega-structures and mobile cities that embraced technology and consumerism.

The document describes three graphic design styles: International Style focuses on carefully regulated curves and asymmetrically positioned blocks of text with lower case predominating. Basel Style breaks conventions by having non-horizontal type and overlapping images and text. ULM School - HfG emphasizes precisely measured grids, crisp geometric forms, sans serif type, and minimal text with a focus on theoretical aspects of design.
The Arts and Crafts Movement began in Britain in the 1860s in response to the negative effects of industrialization. Led by William Morris, it sought to preserve craftsmanship and design through the establishment of workshops and societies. While successful in raising the status of craftspeople, the Movement's handmade goods remained expensive and available only to the wealthy. It influenced later design movements through its emphasis on function, local materials, and integration with the landscape in architecture.

Le Corbusier was influenced by various architects and artistic movements in developing his early works and principles of architecture. He drew from Tony Garnier's industrial city ideas, Auguste Perret's reinforced concrete techniques, the German Werkbund group's machine aesthetics, Cubism's abstraction of forms, and De Stijl's use of pure geometry. These influences led him to establish five principles for a new architecture - pilotis, free plan, free facade, ribbon windows, and roof gardens. His Villa Savoye exemplified these principles and represented his vision of creating a house as a "machine for living in."
Modern surfaces focused on communication over space through signs and images rather than enclosed walls. Adolf Loos believed ornamentation of utilitarian objects should be removed and architecture should become a "living organism" rather than display superficial decoration. The Bauhaus school saw architecture sinking into decorative concepts and sought to vitalize building surfaces without becoming parasitic. Mies van der Rohe designed transparent glass skyscrapers to let light assert itself. Department stores and advertisements used stimulating visual displays to attract consumers in an era when supply exceeded demand.
This document provides information about the architect Le Corbusier and his role in developing the International Style of modern architecture. It summarizes some of Le Corbusier's key projects including the Villa Savoye, Unité d'Habitation, and Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts. These projects demonstrated his five points of architecture with features like pilotis, free plans and facades, ribbon windows, and roof gardens. The document also discusses how Brutalism grew out of Le Corbusier's use of exposed concrete in his designs.
1. Minimalism was a reaction to abstract expressionism that arose in the 1960s, characterized by simple geometric forms and clean lines.
2. It aimed to reduce art to its most basic and essential forms, removing emotion and extra meanings.
3. In architecture, minimalism focused on stripping down designs to their fundamental elements, using simple planes and shapes influenced by Japanese design. Pioneers like Mies van der Rohe adopted the motto "less is more".
The document discusses key aspects of modernist architecture and design. It describes De Stijl's emphasis on simplicity, primary colors, and asymmetry.

theme of the MODERN ARCHITECTURE 01.pptxAQIBIMRAN3
Modern architecture emerged in the early 20th century as architects explored new materials like steel and concrete and sought to design buildings that expressed the modern industrial age rather than being influenced by past styles. Three key figures that helped define modern architecture were Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Mies van der Rohe. Le Corbusier developed principles like using pilotis to elevate structures on stilts and having long ribbons of windows. His Villa Savoye exemplified these principles. Mies van der Rohe is known for his dictum "Less is More" and designs like the Barcelona Pavilion that used a steel frame and glass walls. Modern architecture emphasized simplicity, exposing structures, and making innovative use of new
Peter Behrens, (born April 14, 1868, Hamburg—died Feb. 27, 1940, Berlin), architect noted for his influential role in the development of modern architecture in Germany.
The document discusses Le Corbusier's views on architecture and some of his key projects. It provides an overview of his belief that architecture should be a "play of volumes brought together in light" using simple geometric forms. It also summarizes some of his major works that explored this idea, including the Villa La Roche and Villa Stein-De Monzie, which featured open floor plans and emphasized structure and light.
The document summarizes the history and principles of the Bauhaus school from 1919-1933. It was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar to unite fine arts and craftsmanship. The preliminary course immersed students in materials and design fundamentals taught by masters like Itten, Albers and Moholy-Nagy. Notable artists like Kandinsky, Klee and Feininger taught as well. The school pioneered mass production and an embrace of modern industrial aesthetics before disbanding under Nazi pressure in 1933. Its influence spread as masters migrated to the US.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German-American architect. The architect responsible for the dictum "Less Is More," He is commonly referred to and was addressed as Mies, his surname.
The document provides an overview of the development of modernist architecture in the early 20th century. It discusses key intellectual developments like Einstein's theory of relativity that challenged traditional notions. Artistic movements like De Stijl and the Bauhaus emerged, advocating simplicity and abstraction through use of basic geometric forms and primary colors. The Bauhaus school under Gropius and later Mies van der Rohe promoted integrating art and craft, and understanding new technologies. Mies van der Rohe's motto of "Less is More" epitomized the International Style. Gerrit Rietveld's Schroder House exemplified De Stijl principles through its rigid planes and use of color.

The document discusses the International Style of architecture. It was introduced in the early 20th century and is characterized by features like asymmetry, abstract forms, flat roofs, large windows and lack of ornamentation. The style emerged from new construction techniques using steel and concrete. Key architects who helped develop the style included Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson. Examples of buildings highlighted include the Glass House, Unité d'Habitation and Bauhaus school.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a pioneering German-American architect known for developing the International Style of architecture. Some key aspects of his work included an emphasis on simplicity, open floor plans, and exposing structural elements. Some of his most famous works that exemplified his principles were the Barcelona Pavilion, which featured glass walls and floors, and Crown Hall at IIT, which had a large open space defined by a minimal steel structure. Mies strove to create flexible, universal spaces using modern materials like steel and glass.

The document summarizes the Bauhaus School, an influential art and design school that operated in Germany between 1919 and 1933. It was founded by Walter Gropius and brought together various crafts and arts to merge function and aesthetics. The school emphasized simplicity, functionality and experimentation with new materials and forms. It rejected ornamentation in favor of clean geometric designs and had a significant influence on modern architecture and design. The school was forced to close under Nazi rule due to its left-leaning philosophies.
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, known as Le Corbusier, was a pioneering Swiss-French architect and designer. He developed new construction techniques using reinforced concrete and is considered a leader of the modernist movement. Some of his most notable works include the Villa Savoye, Unité d'Habitation, and his contributions to the design of Chandigarh, India. Le Corbusier strove to improve living conditions through innovative housing concepts and a philosophy centered around proportion, light, and functional open floor plans.

10. Le Corbusier
Cook House, Paris, 1926
A house has to fulfill two
purposes. First it is a machine
for living in, that is, a machine
to provide us with efficient help
for speed and accuracy in our
work, a diligent and helpful
machine which should satisfy
all our physical needs: comfort.
But it should also be a place
conducive to meditation, and
lastly, a beautiful place,
bringing much needed
tranquility to the mind.
1923
11. Machine Art exhibition at Museum
of Modern Art in New York 1934
The beauty of machine
art is in part the abstract
beauty of straight lines
and circles made into
actual tangible surfaces
and solids by means of
lathes, rulers and
squares

us like a flood which rolls
on towards its destined
ends, has furnished us
with new tools adapted to

Editor's Notes
Le Corbusier
Villa Savoye 1927
‘Ornament’ - or decoration - was a key feature of 19th century designed objects. The more garish the more desirable. The ornamentation had nothing to do with the function of the object, but was seen as a symbol of status.
Can perhaps draw some comparisons here with Greenberg’s writings and idea of FLATNESS here.
Die Wohnung - the dwelling - exhibition Stuttgart 1927
Examples of ‘modern living’
Presented model housing and modern household furnishings - mass housing for working classes
Prototypes using new construction techniques and materials: concrete, tubular steel
Involved many of the most progressive designers practicing in Europe
Mies van der Rohe was artistic director
Progress and Evolution
Adolf Loos: What makes our period so important, is that we have outgrown ornament; it is no longer an expression of our culture
Again - parallels here with ABSTRACTION
Built environment also experienced the influence of the machine age.
Le Corbusier famously referred to the house as a ‘machine for living in’ a chair ‘a machine for sitting in.
Swiss born Le Corbusier started out by designing prefab housing systems which were a response to the devastation after the First World War. Wanted to to harness modern industry as a means of overcoming disaster.
Led to his 5 points of a new architecture
Use of columns to raise house off the ground - gave room for circulation of people and cars - eliminated basement which he saw as unhealthy and tubercular.
Flat roof to be used as a garden - recovering lost space and making a private space for sunbathing, exercising or taking the view.
Free Plan - made use of freedom created by structural frame
Free Façade - creation of windows and open terraces
Long Horizontal window to enable more light
Cook House embodied all of Corbusier’s 5 points of architecture - house raised on columns, ribbon windows running from edge to edge of the façade, partitions are freely shaped in response to aesthetic or functional requirements. Flat roof replaced by wall garden
Official recognition of the transition of machine from industrial tool to aesthetic object came at MOMA exhibition 1934 ‘Machine Art’, which displayed engines, pistons, propellers and placed them on pedestals in the same way that a curator exhibits paintings or sculpture.
(MOMA - first museum dedicated to ‘modern art’ opened in 1929)
Catalogue pays homage to ‘a great new race of men in America: the engineer. He has created a new mechanical world’ (Catalogue designed by Fernand Leger)
Important that these objects were displayed as works of art
Through the idea of Machine Art, MoMA established its own set of requirements for design and art -
An aesthetic that contained: simplicity, purity, geometry and austerity and a method of production: machine manufactured, actual or implied, using modern materials, and an iconography: the machine
And in the United States - Machine Age Exhibition 1928
Quote by Le Corbusier - 1927
This machine aesthetic, based on geometry, was felt across the world
Le Corbusier: ‘A chair is a machine for sitting; a house is a machine for living’
Ball bearings - poster by Ferdinand Leger
This printed textile blends the geometric abstraction of the progressive Russian Constructivist movement
Potent political forms: mecanised tractor
Article in ‘The Studio’ magazine ‘Wood or Metal’
Questioned ‘humanity’ of functionalism
John Gloag - British Art /Design critic and theorist
‘Brutal’ often used in conjunction with modernism - particularly with reference to modernist architecture
LeCorbusier’s New Architecture was completely radical - offering a machine age structure and
Promised to create new freedom by using machine age technology and industrial production in order to solve problems of lack of housing after ravages of WWI, enrich daily life by adding roof gardens, and improve health by allowing more light
Villa Savoye - Built in suburban Paris, weekend house which marked the height of Corbusier’s Purist period.
Organised as an ‘architectural promendade’ around a central ramp
Interior is an example of Corb’s philosophy on purism in architecture
Plays with sunlight and geometric form - aesthetic ideals
Worth pointing out that this is not a house for ‘the common man’!
Le Corbusier had utopian belief that world of happiness and equality could be arrived at through combination of social progress and reliance on technology
Unite d’Habitation was Corb’s first major post war building - anticipates ‘brutalism’ that is associated with 1950s and 60s modernism. Became model for urban housing
Architecture which is arrived at through scientific, rational approach - analysed needs and functional requirements to come up with a solution.
Communal living
Would have range of carefully considered socialised functions - kindergarten at ground level where parents could easily drop off and pick up children on way to work, shops, social areas

Has had massive impact on social housing throughout 20th century
Rationalisation and standardisation - tenets of functionalism
Component furniture systems of wood, plywood and metal - all mass-produced and inexpensive
Welded tubular steel furniture - most iconic artefact of this period
Shown at Weissenhof
Entirely new material - same manufacturing process as making bicycles - impression of being welded from one single piece of extruded steel
Rationalisation of components (use of same components for different types of furniture
Could be flat packed
Affordable by ‘broadest mass of people’
Not particularly ‘artistic’ or ‘cosy’ - instead mechanical and logical - but attracted a lot of interest by all public
Much of what we think of as ‘functionalist design’ is rooted in the 1920s and 1930s
Also had a revival in the 1940s
Also had a revival in the 1950s / 1960s
Influence continues today
But functionalism was also symbolic - symbolically functional
Meaning that it represented function more that resulted from function. It looked functional more than worked functionally
John Gloag - British Art /Design critic and theorist
‘Brutal’ often used in conjunction with modernism - particularly with reference to modernist architecture
Popular opinion was divided on modernism - particularly in domestic situations
By late 1970s modernism was perceived as a ‘sinking ship’ -
Tigerman’s photomontage of Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Crown Hall is emblematic of state in which functionalism found itself at end of 20th century
Seen as monotonous and tyrannical (Vincent Scully: ‘brought so many cities to the brink of catastrophe) - very little left of ideals and ambitions which has started it
Mendini adds painted decoration to Breuer’s chair - irregularity, colour, ornament: all the things that the functionalists deplored!
Is modernism still relevant?
Still remains a benchmark against which design is judged
Classic metal furniture designs still widely available
