 Yve-Alain Bois - Against Functionalism
And finally Le Corbusier's continual concern for the relations between architecture and its site was demonstrated in his numerous travel sketches, as well as in the drawings for the Villa Schwob, which, from the outside, changes its aspect radically according to point of view, and, from the inside, has apertures that frame the landscape.
Impressed by the political status given to architecture in Russia, Le Corbusier later decided to overlook the painful fact that he was not allowed to visit the building site of the Centrosoyuz and agreed to participate in the invitational competition for the Palace of the Soviets in 1931-32.
It held many surprises for nonspecialists, among them the facts that the future king of architectural "nudism" had admired the architectural ornaments of Florence and Ravenna, as well as Louis XV furniture; that he had spent his youth drawing decorative watchcases; and that he had an impassioned interest in Nietzsche and Renan.
