Le Corbusier : Plan of A Modern House

We seek for perfection, for an ideal but as we get to a simpler and simpler structure are we losing ourselves and growing without progress?

How is the masonry house plan a handicap? Paralyzed in what sense, maybe it’s because it was too much of an empty body, a hollow soul. But through that emptiness we have the option and the freedom of a more considerate design for dwellings.

The “modern plan” is utilizing our current technology to its fullest but have free and wide spaces, with more and more openings, to give indoor spaces more life, a connection to the outside world. We are tools as we are the current and future users of the plan, the role we play to be present in the space and know how the architecture is effecting us physically and emotionally. Keep questioning. Why? What? How?

But as tools creating more tools (invention) it could be for lazy convenience we mass produced waste, from resources to spaces.  Space need to be able to accommodate those massive screens that capture moving images and a hot machine that creates ice.

Modern life has many factors to consider, is it necessary? Are we too scared of not being prepared or are we just too good at being human?

Proportion and organization is vital and massively plays big role in our planning for comfort. It gives a sense of sensibility towards the users and designers. The world of balance and proportion is so wide and diverse that there's many more to learn. 

(as you can see I'm playing with odd propotions XD)
