The New Spirit

In 1918, painter Amédée Ozenfant and Le Corbusier established the journal L'Esprit Nouveau, a publication advocating pure, geometric form in art and architecture. Their conceptual legacy has been felt tremendously in our approach to pre-fabricated housing throughout the world and was a small seed for defining the modern aesthetic.

 

The material for the image is derived from a pamphlet for Corbusier's lecture series in 1920.

 

Situated within a Cité in Vitry, France. Many props to C215 on the wall.
