Excellent article. I think there was another article by Dalrymple here earlier today. Impressive.
Although it may see peripheral, what he says about le Corbusier is all too true. I would add the Bauhaus School. The International Style is dehumanizing to a sickening degree.
What??? You don't believe in utopia??? sacasm off
Remember science fiction movies of the 60's where they showed the future as people living in huge cinderblock apartment complexes ? Like Alex in Clockwork Orange going home to "Municipal Flatblock E" ?
Le Corbusier.
