Le Corbusier (1887 - 1965, Swiss)
"To draw oneself, to trace the lines, handle the volumes, organize the surface .... all this means first to look, and then to observe and finally perhaps to discover .... and it is then that inspiration may come. Inventing, creating, one's whole being is drawn into action, and it is this action which counts. Others stood indifferent - but you saw! " (from Creation is a Patient Search. By Le Corbusier. Frederick A. Praeger. New York: 1960. Pg 37)
"Corbusier was very interested in exploiting the "invisible influence" of architecture in the modern age .... 'Architecture has for its first duty, in this period of renewal, that of bringing about a revision of values ...' "
