Corbusier

Famous quotes containing the word corbusier:

    Our own epoch is determining, day by day, its own style. Our eyes, unhappily, are unable yet to discern it.
    —Le Corbusier [Charle Édouard Jeanne] (1887–1965)

    A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe ... it is a beautiful catastrophe.
    —Le Corbusier [Charle Édouard Jeanne] (1887–1965)

    Le Corbusier was the sort of relentlessly rational intellectual that only France loves wholeheartedly, the logician who flies higher and higher in ever-decreasing circles until, with one last, utterly inevitable induction, he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges in the fourth dimension as a needle-thin umber bird.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
