Le Corbusier seems to me an idealist ( new worlds need people like him ) while also disregarding the human part of it...a theocratic at the edge of being a tyrant. He would perpetuate hierarchical patterns for geometrical pleasant spaces ( something very conflicting and iterative in that vision tho )........Somehow I arrived here..... and found your amazing channel.....What a great editing, pace and script........Keep up!!!

I don't usually comment on videos but this was so helpful, thank you so much.

amazing channel, I wish you the success you deserve, sooner than you think it will come

Seems to me he was a terribly stubborn idealist. He looks at a city as if it were nothing more than stacking blocks; his understanding seems to lack the organic growth of culture, values, and social connectedness which truly makes a city. The rigid forms he proposes are an architect's fantasy with geometrical shapes... nothing more. People desire more than just tall slabs of concrete. Well animated video.

brilliant video, love your animations!

If you watched this until the end - you are so so Spatial ;)! What are your thoughts on Corbu? Egomaniac or the ultimate hero of the spatial arts? Talk to me, don't let me melt from the lack of attention...

We love your video! We suddenly started thinking about him because of this music video (kzread.info/dash/bejne/oGaM1ddqoZbJcdo.html), and then found your video, by complete accident! We watched it till the end, and we absolutely love how you so expertly designed the visuals to go with the narrative. Visuals and sound interact so so so well! Thank you for piquing our interest in the philosophy of arcitecture. We will now think about this some more, and maybe read a little more about the man and his ideas.. and then we can let you know if we discover any new insights..! Thank you so much for making this beautiful, well thought out film about this interesting man and his geometric philosophy :)! Solveig and Jim.

He didn't care for the people living in these brutalist buildings. He only thought of the edifices themselves. I have no doubt he would never choose to live in his own creation.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write these thoughtful and encouraging words for me. So honored to hear that my little film might have made you want to learn more about Corbu’s ideas and sparked your curiosity about the existential dimension of the built environment. You also inspired me to read more about the Luník IX neighborhood (what a story...) Thank you once again and sorry I wasn't able to thank you earlier!

@@SpatialSnowflake Wow! I never saw your message, either! Never really made a comment to anyone before on this thing..! Haha, well, great that you liked that we loved your video! I'll have to read more about that neighbourhood myself now :) Thank you for getting back, it was a weird day that time and your film made us very happy. Let me know if you make more! Make one about the Luník IX! :D (By the way, we had interesting thoughts and felt inspired by your film, but it's a complicated thing, so we never expressed them very well in writing here for you ;) )

This way to build cities in the 50's and 60's is not just about le Corbusier influence but just because it is a cheap way to build habitations without caring too much about how bad is it to live in

His designs were functional for their time, but ugly. There's a reason why the areas he wanted to demolish are still highly desirable while the places that look like his designs are just places people live when they can't afford places like old Paris. Modernists have always focused too much on function and completely ignored or dismissed everything else.

And one could argue that the city of his dreams isn't very functional. First of all it was designed around the automobile, today we know that was pure poison for cities. Also his designs lack a sense of space. So much was build to follow his ideas, very little aged well, few places are actually liked.

Can you please let us know the location of your very last image of the apartment towers and the curved roadway in the foreground? Thank you.

What's with the breathless narration?

Have you anymore videos about architecture and urban planning or only six?

Just have to point out my silly typo at 0:32 - CorbusieR is missing an R 🙃…anyway, I uploaded a version with that corrected: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGSkptSKo8LOmJc.html …to whom it may concern 😛

He did realize his urban design ideas in the construction of the Punjab city of Chandigar.

Does any one who is the artist of the music used at the end of this documentary? It is beautiful.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it very much. Enjoyed the documentary, very interesting and informative.

Great documentary but the narration intonations are annoying, way too much weird dramatic pauses in between sentences.

too much dramatic tonality

Linear city was built (Magnitogorsk) and it’s awful. Nothing more to say
