Le Corbusier’s Modernist Architectural Theory and Robert Venturi’s Postmodern Architectural Theory
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the architectural theories of modernist Le Corbusier and postmodernist Robert Venturi. Modernist architect Le Corbusier and postmodern architect Robert Venturi present vastly different perspectives on the needs in architecture in their works “Towards a New Architecture” (Le Corbusier, 1924) and “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture” (Venturi, 1966). Every component considered as important to Le Corbusier such as mass, surface, generating lines, simplicity, function and “the generating plan” were considered by Venturi as too simplistic for the modern complex society. Instead, Venturi advocates architectural designs which are complex, contradictory, ambiguous, redundant and at times, perverse to challenge the increasing complex visual perceptions in modern society. In addition, Le Corbusier believed in the relation of designs to that of the larger plan and designed city plans with functionalism in mind whereas Venturi did not believe that individual structures needed to be in relation to a larger plan but could only add to the complexity and variety within the cities themselves.
