| Sumario: | [EN] This interview was made on September 6th, 2019, to Kenneth Frampton, Ware Professor at the Graduate school of architecture, planning, and preservation, Columbia University of New York. It is part of a series of interviews with prominent historians and architects marking the first generation of studies on the figure and work of Le Corbusier, with the support of the Foundation Le Corbusier. This filmed exchange questions the ground for Kenneth Frampton studying Corb and integrating the work of the architect in his studies on Modern Architecture. It touches issues surrounding Le Corbusier’s architecture and buildings (such the Unité d'habitation, Roq and Rob villas and the Maison de weekend); the Modern Movement project and the influence of his ideas before and after the World Wars in Europe, London, Britain and in the American scene. Figures such as Atelier 5, Eisenman, Lluis Sert and institutions such the Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment and Harvard and deeper understanding of notions such the critical regionalism or the vernacular in Corbu’s extraordinary work were also theme of conversation. Frampton recalls his relationship to Le Corbusier and talks about his writings, as technical editor at the Architectural Design magazine and later as a historian, with his newly re-edited Modern Architecture: A Critical History. |
