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.
Le Corbusier, a pioneer in modern architecture, revolutionized 20th-century design with his innovative ideas and groundbreaking structures. Born as Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, the Swiss-French architect's visionary principles emphasized functionality, clean lines, and harmony with urban surroundings. His iconic works, such as the Villa Savoye and the Unité d'Habitation, showcase a bold fusion of form and function. Le Corbusier's influence extends beyond architecture; his contributions to urban planning and design philosophy have left an indelible mark on the global architectural landscape, earning him a lasting legacy as one of the most influential figures in modern design history.

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.

Modernism in architecture is characterized by its emphasis on form over ornament; appreciation of materials and structure instead of idyllic revival constructions; and the adroit, methodical use of space.
Modernism in architecture is characterized by its emphasis on form over ornament; appreciation of materials and structure instead of idyllic revival constructions; and the adroit, methodical use of space.
Modern architecture, or modernist architecture, was based upon new and innovative technologies of construction, particularly the use of glass, steel and reinforced concrete; the idea that form should follow function (functionalism); an embrace of minimalism; and a rejection of ornament.[1] It emerged in the first half of the 20th century and became dominant after World War II until the 1980s, when it was gradually replaced as the principal style for institutional and corporate buildings by postmodern architecture.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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

College of Architecture and Design / Department of Architecture
Arch. 331 Modern Architecture
Instructor: Dr. Raed Al Tal
Summer 2012
The International Style
2. The term of the International Style was born in 1932;
the First International Exhibition of Modern
Architecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New
York
Modern architecture form 1920s to the end of the
1950s – or possibly the 1970s
The book published for this occasion indicates their
principles :
“There is first a new conception of architecture as
volume rather than mass. Secondly, regularity rather
than axial symmetry serves the chief means order
design.”
3. They hoped to “put architecture back on its real
plane, the economic and social plane,”
“The most efficacious production is derived from
rationalization and standardization, ” they declared
4. Le Corbusier (Charles Edouard Jeanneret ) 1887-
1966 , one of the spiritual founders of the modern
architecture / International Style
He was a writer, painter, architect and urban
planner
16. In his book Towards a New Architecture (1927),
Le Corbusier announced his” five points of a new
architecture,”
- free standing supports – pilots
- the roof garden
- the free plan
- the ribbon window
- the freely composed façade
17. The Villa Savoye fulfilled the principles of the five "Points
of a New Architecture" Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret
had formulated:
The pilotis (columns which raised the house above the
ground),
free plan (due to free-standing walls, everything is
optional),
free façades (the exterior walls are no longer load-
bearing),
flat roof with roof garden (replacing land lost underneath
the building),
and ribbon windows.
The American architect Frank Lloyd characterized these
solid cubes, which appear to rest precariously on thin
supporting poles, "big boxes on sticks."
18. Quotations
"Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need
just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.“
"The house is a machine for living in." (Vers une architecture,
1923)
"It is a question of building which is at the root of the social
unrest of today: architecture or revolution." (Vers une
architecture, 1923)
"Modern life demands, and is waiting for, a new kind of plan,
both for the house and the city." (Vers une architecture, 1923)
"The 'Styles' are a lie." (Vers une architecture, 1923)
19. We can see all of Le Corbusier’s principles in
Villa Savoye at Poissy 1928-1931
35. Le Corbusier’s concept of a cube as a Cubist painter
where he saw vertical and horizontal planes in
movement (flow of space)
The project of Domino House, 1914
36. The project of Domino House, 1914
It is simple a frame (the basis for low cost housing)
Consists of two concrete slabs kept apart by
columns and linked only by an open stair
Flat roofs are convenient because they make
possible a totally free plan. In traditional
architecture, pitched roofs must rest on a wall; now
you could put the walls wherever you liked.
37. Le Corbusier’s Modulor , a scale of architectural
proportions based on the human body and the golden
section
Modulor considered the standard human height as
1829 mm
38.
39.
40. The Pavillon Suisse at the Citè Universitaire, Paris 1930
-pilots and ribbon windows
-he introduced the idea of hierarchy of function: the 45
bedroom block is lifted up on pilots
-the communal areas at ground level flow freely, enclosed by a
wall of random rubble stonework
45. Unitè d’Habitation , Marseilles, 1946
-carefully taken from the Modulor
-337 split-level apartments in 23 different types
-Apartments entered from wide internal corridors
or streets
-There are 18 floors
-About third of the way up, the internal corridor is
-a two storey shopping mall
52. -On the top floor there is roof garden/ fantastic
landscape (includes- gymnasium, running track, a
nursery school, tunnels and caves for children play
in, a swimming pool, seats, cantilevered balcony and
a restaurant.

55. Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts
Location : Harvard U., Cambridge, MA
Date : 1960-63 (W: 1961-64)
Construction : concrete
56. The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University,
in Cambridge, Massachusetts is the only building actually built
by Le Corbusier in the United States, and one of only two in the
Americas (the other is the Curutchet House in La Plata,
Argentina.)
57. The Carpenter Center at nightIt houses the department of
Visual and Environmental Studies of the University, as well
as the Harvard Film Archive, the largest collection of 35mm
films in New England. It screens a large quantity of
independent, international and silent films.
Le Corbusier never actually saw the building. He was invited
to the opening ceremony, but he declined the invitation on
account of his poor health.
Some have humorously described the building's appearance
as that of two pianos mating.
58. Brutalism
Le Corbusier used the French phrase béton brut, or raw
concrete, to describe the construction of his rough,
concrete buildings. Brutalism grew out of the Bauhaus
Movement and the béton brut buildings by Le Corbusier
and his followers.
59. Heavy and angular, Brutalist buildings can be constructed
quickly and economically.
Common features include:
Precast concrete slabs
Rough, unfinished surfaces
Exposed steel beams
Massive, sculptural shapes
