LE CORBUSIER IN AMERICA

on Third Programme

by FELLO ATKINSON , A.R.I.B.A.
Nearly thirty years ago Le Corbusier set down (in When the Cathedrals Were White) his deep concern for the United States and his belief that. in spite of all the ' inhuman jazz,' it would be the first to achieve an architecture to honour modern life. Yet it is only this year that he completed a commission there.
Fello Atkinson reflects on this building-the Carpenter Center at Harvard-and on the Corbusier exhibition now at the Museum of Modern Art. Do they mark an end to the long estrangement between a great architect and what he called the country of timid people ' ? Second broadcast
