This work explores a building from Le Corbusier’s Ville Radieuse architectural model. I drew the particular buildings perimetre – ignoring the 3D elements shown in the photograph – and repeated it on Adobe Illustrator, printed it onto acetate and drew it up from an over-head projector onto the wall. I then flipped the acetate and drew it again, allowing overlaps and confusion as to what the original shape was. This piece has a decorative element to it – something which Le Corbusier would have detested greatly as it would oppose his “Law of Ripolin” – a law he wished to have had enforced meaning everything had to be white, to “cleanse the soul”.
