Towards a New Towards
April 3rd, 2006
Ever since Corbu set out his ideas of an architecture and it was
mistranslated as a new architecture, folk have been proposing that we
move TOWARDS (!) all sorts of new things.
Top of my list of items I would consider writing a ground breaking
treatise on would be:
“MO-Spline: Towards a New Moustache Driven Geometry; The Role of the
Handlebar Moustache in Contemporary Shapemaking.”
or
“Towards a New Salary”
cont'd....

| ps., LC's book is called Towards _an_ Architecture,
| the 'new' was added in the english edition by the
| translator, an early symptom of what has become
| a Rampant New Disease?
| pps., browsed through many of the links in this
| article, unlike Le Corbusier's book (which entertains
| several propositions, some quite scientific, others
| about the nature of architectural representation)
| well! the moralistic eco/sustainability texts are
| reasonably hilarious... vacuous...
|
| have a good read and a good laugh
