Day 01
Our first official meeting with Le Corbusier revolved around rectangular tables where we discussed on how an interpretation of him was to be performed.
Paintings do look like floor plan. Hence the usage of Le Corbusier’s purism works to extrude walls in forming interesting circulation pattern.
Day 02
Work began; painting made and materials tested until we decided to be divided into smaller groups. The constitution of the paintings and the extrusion system remained.
Day 03
In a group of four, sketch models were made, diagrams formed and digital spaces raised. Here we focused on the ‘contrasting’ image of Le Corbusier, thus the portrayal of contrasting elements in a building.
Day 04/05
Building of the model resumed. It was to be incorporated into the final performance in the form of a video.
Day 06
The workshop infatuation; redoing floors and columns out of wood instead, as foam board has proven to be too thin and dangerously incapable of bearing too much of plaster weight.
Day 07
Video filming and editing.

[A primer must be applied to the wood before paint spraying to prevent absorption of paint by the wood]
Lesson learnt.

[The fascinating texture of Plaster of Paris]
Very, very fascinating. Although it was a time-consuming and sticky process.

The symbol of modernism. A fascist, some have dubbed him. A living contradiction. Or perhaps, just a show off, this Le Corbusier. Yet who could deny the change he had inflicted in the world of architecture?
