i don't think daniels knows the difference between urban planning and architecture.
and then postulates that the failings of modernism is strictly corb's fault. hilarious.
The most sincere, because unconscious, tribute to Le Corbusier comes from the scrawlers of graffiti. If you approach the results of their activities epidemiologically, so to speak, you will soon notice that, where good architecture is within reach of Corbusian architecture, they tend to deface only the Corbusian surfaces and buildings. As if by instinct, these uneducated slum denizens have accurately apprehended what so many architects have expended a huge intellectual effort to avoid apprehending: that Le Corbusier was the enemy of mankind.
i've actually been to dozens of corb buildings, most aren't as littered w/ graffiti as the train depots and warehouses i've seen...
and corb didn't invent these surfaces.
or is daniels actually saying a subway car is a 'corbusian surface'?
