Today we traveled to the Cite Universitaire, a University campus in Paris built after the first World War. The initial university design hoped to usher in an era of peace and understanding between nations through ties fostered between its youth.
Our guest lecturer, Serge Clavé, compared the more traditional buildings on the campus with the styles and development of Le Corbusier’s modern design sensibility. Pavillon Suisse and Maison du Brésil, built 30 years apart, allowed us to compare major design elements and to view changes Le Corbusier made in his own designs throughout his career.
