Le Corbusier was a Swiss-French architect, designer, urban planner, writer and painter. Some of his most notable works include the Villa La Roche, Pavillon Suisse, Mill Owners' Association Building in India. He is known for developing the Modular system and the concept of the Five Points of Architecture. In the 1950s, he designed the city plan for Chandigarh, the first planned city in India, applying his principles of modern architecture and urban planning. The presentation provided details on Le Corbusier's early life, career, key buildings before Chandigarh and his master plan for Chandigarh, highlighting his modular design approach and use of open spaces.

Topic: This paper describes the design and influence of a seventeen-story apartment building called the Unité d’Habitation that was built between 1947 to 1952 in the southern French city, Marseilles. The Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier designed the building and him who expected to be the prototype for mass housing from the modern period. This building also became the apex of his life’s work. It had an enormous influence on the architectural profession, also formulated design principles after World War II.
The development of the design of the building is explained, together with the relevant influences. A critical investigation concentrates on the kitchen design is presented, along with a commentary on its role as a model for the new modern lifestyle.
Introduction
Among the masters who laid the foundation of modern architecture and design, my favorite is Le Corbusier. Unlike the German absolutism of Mies Van der Rohe and Gropius, Le Corbusier who is from France is more of an artist. Perhaps the reinforced concrete houses of Mies Van der Rohe and Gropius can be directly copied in large quantities. But the works of Le Corbusier are always modern and straightforward at first glance, but with a particular taste, the core must be classical and elegant.
Unité d’Habitation's apartments typically reflect this. As entrusted by the French government, designed to accommodate as many people as residential buildings, Le Corbusier did not merely develop it into today's great matchbox all over the world. This design was to meet the most modern requirements for hygiene, aesthetics, and comfort.However, he spent a lot of state of mind, the personalization, refinement, let these people living at the houses to exclaim and got amazed by the modern lifestyle: buildings can also be so designed, the apartments can also decorate so.
After World War II, French government asked Le Corbusier to make proposals for the housing of 14,000 new inhabitants in Saint-Gaudens, for a new industrial zone next to the port of La Rochelle, and to re-build the half of Saint-Dié that had been wantonly destroyed by the retreating German army.
Then, Le Corbusier made his proposal by combing his five points principles to design a new type of architecture for united housing: Unité d’Habitation, built-in 1952 in Marseille, the 18-story concrete box is a symbol of the brutalist architecture that inspired Le Corbusier’s vision of a new city. Unite d’Habitation was the catalyst for the widespread adoption of Modern Movement architecture after World War II. The habitat residence should not be a landmark building like the Sydney opera house, but a prototype of a vast number of buildings built around the world. How did Le Corbusier make this significant movement that influenced the Modernism to later French design principles? What the outcomes derives between Le Corbusier and his primary interior designer: Charlotte Perriand, who also.

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
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Le Corbusier
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, better
known as Le Corbusier.
He was born in Switzerland and became
a French citizen in 1930. October 6, 1887 –
August 27, 1965)
He was architect ,designer urbanist
and writer.
His career spanned five decades, with
his buildings constructed throughout
Europe, India and America.
3. EARLY LIFE AND CARRER(1914-
1930)
Le Corbusier taught at his old school in La-
chaux-de-Fond during World War I.
Until the end of the first world war he
worked in switzerland.
Were he worked on theoretical
architectural studies using modern
techniques.
Among these was his project for the
Domino House (1914–1915)
4. 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.
Soon he would begin his own architectural
practice with his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret (1896–
1967), a partnership that would last until the
1950s.
In 1918, Le Corbusier met the Cubist
painter Amédée Ozenfant.
5. After World War II, Le Corbusier attempted to realize his
urban planning schemes on a small scale by constructing a
series of "unités" (the housing block unit of the Radiant City)
around France.
The most famous of these was the Unité d'Habitation of
Marseilles (1946–1952).
In the 1950s, a unique opportunity to translate the Radiant
City on a grand scale presented itself in the construction of
the Union Territory Chandigarh.
The new capital of Indian states of Punjab
and Haryana and the first planned city in
India.

6. LE CORBUSIER – THE MODULAR
Le Corbusier explicitly used the golden ratio in
his Modulor system for the scale of architectural
proportion.
The Modulor is
an anthropometric scale of pr
oportions devised by him.
It is based on the height of
an English man with his arm
raised.
7. INFLUENCES
He saw this system as a
continuation of the long tradition
of Vitruvius, Leonardo da
Vinci's and , the work of Leon
Battista Alberti.
They used the proportions of the
human body to improve the
appearance and function
of architecture.
Le Corbusier described it as a
"range of harmonious
measurements to suit the human
scale, universally applicable to

Historical Background
Selection of site
Planning
To select a suitable
site, the Govt. of
Punjab appointed a
Committee in 1948
under the
Chairmanship of P.L
Verma, Chief Engineer
to assess and evaluate
the existing towns in
the State for setting up
the proposed capital of
10. The present site was selected in 1948 taking into account various
attributes such as its Central location in the state, proximity to the national
capital & availability of sufficient water supply, fertile of soil, gradient of
land for natural drainage.
An American Firm, M/s. Mayer, Whittlessay and Glass was commissioned
in 1950 to prepare the Master Plan for the new City
Albert Mayer and Mathew Novicki evolved a fan shaped Master Plan and
worked out conceptual sketches of the super block.
The super block was designed as a self –sufficient neighborhood units
placed along the curvilinear roads and comprised of cluster type
housing, markets and centrally located open spaces.
11. Le Corbusier's Master Plan
The Master plan prepared by Le
Corbusier was broadly similar to the
one prepared by the team of planners
led by Albert Mayer and Mathew
Novicki.
Except that the shape of the city plan
was modified from one with a curving
road network to rectangular shape
with a grid iron pattern for the fast
traffic roads, besides reducing its
area for reason of economy.
12. Due to economic constraints, the master plan was to be
realized in two phases, catering to a total population of half a
million.
. Phase-I consisting of 30 low density sector spread over an
area of 9000 acres (Sector 1 to 30) for 1,50,000 people .
Phase-II consisting of 17 considerably high density Sectors (
Sectors 31 to 47) spread over an area of 6000 acres for a
population of 3,50,000.
13. The primary module of city‟s design is a Sector, a neighborhood unit of
size 800 meters x 1200 meters. It is a self-sufficient unit having shops,
school, health centers and places of recreations and worship.
The population of a sector varies between 3000 and 20000 depending
upon the sizes of plots and the topography of the area.

The Open Hand (La Main Ouverte) is a
recurring motif in Le Corbusier's
architecture.
This is a sign of relief and reconciliation.
It is open to give and open to receive.

sculptures that Le Corbusier created is a

VILLA ROCHE private
house, museum, gallery
Project Year: 1923-1925
The Villa La Roche is a perfect showcase for Le
Corbusier's new architecture.
The house would serve as a private gallery to display La
Roche's extensive art collection.
20. The Villa acted as an exhibition space for Mr.
Roche‟s collection of avant-garde artwork, and is
a pure assemblage of spatial volumes that
interlocks the dual programs of domicile and
gallery.
It including a north orientation and existing trees
and height and boundary limitation.
Inside the building, to display the art, an
„architectural promenade‟ was made.
A theme inspired by Le Corbusier's visit to the
Acropolis in 1911.
The promenade goes up and down staircases,
leads through tight spaces, in-between balconies,
open surveys, down ramps and into a beautifully
lit library.
22. BUILDING FEATURES OF
VILLA ROCHE.
The Villa was imagined as a “spatial
experience” and consists of a specifically
deliberate path which guides the inhabitant
and unveils the artwork as an itinerary through
history.
The promenade lead us into a succession of
wonderfully illuminated spaces which were
perceptibly designed to be experiential and
viewed from a single, fixed point.
Precisely placed wall openings, stairs, ramps,
and balconies divide the space into three
dimensional grid-like layers which are
permeable to stunning illumination.
In contrast to the entirely white façade, the
vivid internal color palate harmonizes the
otherwise asymmetrical arrangement of the
Villa.

harsh, angular forms.
And the auditorium as an
enclosed space delineated
by soft, curvilinear forms.

The Secretariat building is a long, horizontal concrete slab
form, 254 meters long and 42 meters high
31. The building is composed of block divided by expansion joints
and measures over 800 feet long, bookended by two sculptural
ramps providing vertical circulation throughout the facilities‟
levels.
The massive, horizontal
complex is comprised of 8
stories of rough-cast
concrete.
The building has notable
similarities with Corbusier‟s
Marseille block and had an
equally lofty goal: to
revolutionize the modern
office building.
32. The whole structure is constructed in „beton brut‟ (rough-
cast concrete) with Corbusier‟s signature „brise-soleils‟
facade.
Over 800 feet long, the
extensive facade of the
building gives a sculptural
aesthetic with exposed
concrete ramps, punctured
with small square windows
dictating the front and rear
views
The cafeteria rests atop the
terrace, where one can have
a spectacular view of the
city.
33. Similarly, the roof garden and its promenade set
against the surrounding landscape, which constantly
changes as the observer‟s angle of vision changes..
To maximize natural lighting
and increase cross-
ventilation, a long and narrow
plan was implemented.
The Secretariat is a simpler
and more conventional form
where variations of structure
and internal distribution do
not interrupt its compact
volume.

what in order? Function and objects.”
Space and light and order. Those are the
things that men need just as much as they
need bread or a place to sleep.”
