Le Corbusier, From Decoration to Functionalism

Professor Jean-Louis Cohen will lecture on the development of Le Corbusier’s theories of interior architecture and the evolution of the classical “art decoratifs” to the radical experiments of “equipment de l’habitation”, on May 13, 2015, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM, at WPA Chicago, 314 West Superior Street, Chicago IL 60654
