dc.description.abstract | Since Le Corbusier so forcefully propagated a new urban and architectural dispensation, there is a misconception that he disregarded history and that he conceptualised projects rationally and without preconceived ideas. Focusing on his town-planning schemes, this article provides substantiation that Le Corbusier’s urban ideas are intrinsically connected to ideas essentially derived from historical sources. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Aangesien Le Corbusier so kragdadig gepropageer het vir ’n nuwe stedelike en argitektoniese bedeling, heers daar ’n wanbegrip dat hy geskiedenis verontagsaam het en dat hy projekte sonder vooropgestelde idees rasioneel gekonseptualiseer het. Met ’n fokus op sy dorpsbeplanningskemas bied hierdie artikel stawing dat Le Corbusier se stedelike idees wesenlik gekoppel is aan idees wat hoofsaaklik aan geskiedkundige bronne ontleen is. | en_US |
