This exhibition reinforced some of my perceptions about Le Corbusier as an architect - the concrete structures, the giant skyscrapers. But I hadn't realised he was also a superb interior designer and an artist. I could have spent a couple of days here.
Whatever you might feel about the idea of imposing masterplans on a city, Le Corbusier did it with great grace. Even in his skyscrapers, the individual apartments were spacious and addressed light and shade artistically. The problem is that the planners who followed his example, particularly after the second world war, produced buildings and accommodation that were nowhere near the same quality.
