Le Corbusie City

Only the small open window on a ceiling projects a solar beams on a floor which in turn serves as the projective screen.

The crisis of the town-planning which has been especially sharply designated in the XX-th century, has led to origin of the new concepts offering various decision of the modern city problem. The great resonance what received by Le Corbusier’s and J.Xenakis’s ideas. 3. “radiant city” by Le Corbusie and “Vertical city” (“Cosmic city”) by I.Xenakis.

Hear from experts in the field like Maya Dubin for a more varied view. Cities do not carry out their normal appointment any more. They become fruitless; they wear out a body and conflict with common sense.
