Le Corbusier. Les Quartiers Modernes Frugès / The Quartiers Modernes Frugès (Le Corbusier Guides (englisch französisch)) - Softcover
Synopsis
In 1923 Henry Fruges, an entrepreneur passionate about Modernism, commissioned Le Corbusier for two housing developments for workers at Pessac (53 houses) and Lege (7 houses) at the periphery of Bordeaux, France. Le Corbusier used the projects as a laboratory with respect to the development fo norms and to industrial production. A single grid is varied repeatedly and forms a variety of configurations that fit into the terrain. The entire Pessac development was conceived with this system of cells constructed with reinforced concrete. Le Corbusier's use of color was as innovative as the building style, the facades are brought to life by a play of white, blue, green and brown shades. The present guide includes previously unpublished plans and photographs that document this milestone in the development of Le Corbusier's social housing projects.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - in 1923/24 Henry Frugès, a Bordeaux industrialist commissioned Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret with a 'small workers housing estate' in Lège and a garden city in Pessac, comprising 130 to 150 houses with shops. These two housing schemes fitted neatly into the architects research on standardisation and the 'machine à habiter', and provided a useful laboratory for gauging public opinion with regard to mass-production techniques in housing estates. One of the most striking features of the Cité Frugès was the use of polychromy on the exterior facades, to, in Le Corbusier's own words, 'sculpt the space through the physical quality of colour - bring forward some volumes while making others recede. In short, compose with colour in the same way as we have composed with form. This is how architecture is transformed into urbanism.' Historical documents and drawings make this handy-sized volume an invaluable guide for visitors and a practical introduction for all architectural enthusiasts. Seller Inventory # 9783764358082
