Le Corbusier – Acrobat of Architecture, B.V.Doshi interviewed by Carmen Kagal

Few men in history have altered the course of architecture as dramatically as Le Corbusier. His prodigious output, his extensive writings, the very quality of his genius cast him upon a lonely eminence, so that he always remained something of an enigma. It was only to a handful of colleagues that Le Corbusier showed his human side – sensitive, capable of warm and lasting friendships, deeply concerned about the condition of man.

The Hafeez Controversy: I will do it free, you go your way! – Dr. Anil S. Thakur

I wonder why things have degraded and turned so disagreeable. Had Contractor embarked the ethical path, and possessed the scarce merit or the genius unparalleled, the world would have had made his time a very precious commodity. A genuine high projects-oriented mobility for Hafeez would have afforded him a ‘plane ownership’ long ago (what we introduced jovially in the beginning, arguably becomes a potent yardstick of a professional’s indispensability!).
