Presentation
Le Corbusier designed not only modern buildings, but entire cities! Pupils explore the concept of the ‘Radiant City’ and learn to design one based on the Athens Charter: the four functions of living, working, travelling and leisure.
In the second part of the workshop, they will be asked to go beyond the master’s vision and challenge Le Corbusier’s work: what kind of urban planning addresses the issues facing today’s society?
