The narrative of roof gardens reminded me of the mirror glass gallery story in Versailles. So, as per the initial design, it used to be a huge terrace with a fountain after fashionable, at the time, Italian baroque palaces. However, it was profoundly inappropriate and practically unuseful for cold, rainy and snowy french climate. And it did not take that much long for Louis the 14th to commission an enclosure to architect Mansard which became the now famous mirror glass gallery.
Le Corbusier thought: "If it looks good, it is good" Although most of his work did not even look good He is really the prime example of an architecture, nether living inside a building for more then 2 secs, he created himself.
you keep saying that Le Corbusier was a great and remarkable architect.. but why? despite the fact he was good in selling his work you didn't really pointed out any bright sides of his work as an architect.. and I honestly can't see them yeah there are a few ideas in the monestry i might also call remarkable though definitly not asthetic or beautiful! I think this why I can not get the point. Houses are made for humans. Le corbusiers buildings are representing big ego without touching my heart in the aspect of beauty..
Jericho and Jerusalem aren't in Israel. They are in the Palestinian Occupied Territories. Please don't insult the suffering of millions of Palestinians by denying their very existence. Check the United Nations websites or your country's government websites. Please correct. Thank you

that is not correct ;) he lived inside 2/3 houses, that he built himself :)
@@SebastianvonThaden than he is really insane
My idea for new videos. Modern buildings you want to celebrate?
How modern buildings have used traditional ideas for beautiful results.
How traditional principles have been modified for new materials.
yeah, good idea. there are plenty of "good" modern and contemporary buildings.
idk why youtube brought me here but this is cool i guess
Thank you :)
Thank you!

haha the church in the end i liked most xD
well, there are criteria why I think Le Corbusier was a great architect. I might do another video explaining why..

It did not. These are two distinct countries. Look up the UN or your official government maps.
Jerusalem is a state of mind lol
