Le Corbusier 'Eyes Which Do Not See: Automobiles

Researching my reading.

I firstly read through this several times and summed up what I understood it to say. As much as it is disapproved of, to get my first general idea I looked up le Corbusier on Wikipedia I then clicked on some of the internal links to find out more about , National Fascist Party, Phalanstère, Saint-Simonianism, Cabrini-Green, Brasília, Barbican Estate, Benito Mussolini. After getting this general idea I when to see if what I had read was actually correct. I went to FONDATION LE CORBUSIER but it was in French so I couldn’t read it.

I then went to Time 100 (http://www.time.com/time/time100/artists/profile/lecorbusier.html) Le Corbusier -- Villa Savoye showed images fo the villa Savoye illustrating the different aspects of his design. (http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/Corbu.html) I then went to Le Corbusier and the Radiant City Contra True Urbanity and the Earth (http://www.uky.edu/Classes/PS/776/Projects/Lecorbusier/lecorbusier.html) which use very clear language and explain his point of view clearly.
