Presentation
After reading the two poems by Le Corbusier taken from ‘The Poem of the Right Angle’, pupils choose one of the five principles of ‘New Architecture’ developed by Le Corbusier in the Villa Savoye (namely, stilts, open plan, free façade, ribbon windows and roof terrace) to create a poem and an accompanying graphic work.
The graphic work will be created using drawing and collage, or possibly in 3D (paper folding).
Concepts:
- To deepen understanding of poetic texts and the literary techniques used by Le Corbusier
- Developing creativity and writing skills
- Creating graphic works through drawing, collage and origami, incorporating artistic and architectural concepts
- Study of the Modernist movement and the influence of Le Corbusier; exploration of the interactions between art and architecture
