Presentation
What is an architect? Through Le Corbusier’s accounts and interviews, pupils explore the many facets of this profession: working conditions, relationships with clients, spatial planning, choice of materials… They are encouraged to reflect on how the profession has evolved from the early 20th century to the present day.
Key concepts:
- Identify and name the geometric terminology used to describe an architectural space
- Compare lengths and areas using elements within a building or on plans
- Represent a space or an object using the concepts of perimeter, area or volume
