LC150+: The RT+Q Private Collection of Le Corbusier Models
The 150+ models of the works of Le Corbusier (1887-1965) exhibited here are from the private collection of RT+Q Architects, Singapore.
The models are the products, observations, and discoveries of office interns. Through the last 20 years, it has been a tradition for new RT+Q interns to spend their first week studying and building a scale model of a Le Corbusier project. Rather than filling up minds with lessons at the office, the aim is to open them up and acquaint the aspiring architect with the diverse design legacy of arguably the most encyclopedic architect of the 20th century. The range of projects, built and unbuilt, testifies to the diversity in form, material, and program of Le Corbusier’s oeuvre.
The exhibition—now in its 22nd stop at Yale—brings Le Corbusier to all. In the spirit of education and sharing, LC150+ stands as a physical manifestation of the passion and energy of RT+Q interns.
