“Machine for living, says Le Corbusier.
He’s right. Indeed, by expressing
this thought, he lays the problem on
factual grounds. It directs us towards
a correct conception of housing
problems. [...] In conclusion architects
are asked, who are or should to be
artists, to show oneself careful at least
as much as the industrialists [...] they
should lend exactly that service, as we
have the right to expect it from them.“
