Today we went to Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris with architect Serge Clavé. Opened after World War I to bring the world’s students together in a peaceful, academic environment, the campus is home to two of modern architect Le Corbusier’s major projects. Serge compared the more traditional buildings on the campus with the styles and development of Le Corbusier’s modern design sensibility. Pavillon Suisse and Maison du Brésil, built 30 years apart, allowed us to understand major design elements and to view changes Corbusier made in his own designs throughout his career.
