31 – Le Corbusier – 5 – Urbanism – Of Men & Asses
The first of a two part episode exploring Le Corbusier’s infamous and much-derided urban proposals, exhibited in the Esprit Nouveau Pavilion in 1925. In this part, we’re conducting a close reading of ‘Urbanism’ (sometimes known as ‘The City of Tomorrow and its Planning’).
We mostly stayed on topic but there are allusions to
- Camillo Sitte
- Augustus Welby Pugin’s ‘Comparisons’
Music —
- Glass Boy ‘WELP’
- Lovira ‘All Things Considered’
- Loyalty Freak Music ‘Once More With You’ and ‘Waiting TTTT’
- Three Chain Links ‘Heavy Traffic’
- All from the Free Music Archive
