💾 I finally began translating #Kanteletar to English, and I should be able to share the first two chapters by the weekend. #Solarpunk #Betareaders welcome! 👀

The first section (about 18k words) is about the first steps of reappropriation of the #Corbusier-esque #library, setting the stage for the whole five-century trajectory. An architect friend has also helped me with the design, which is also featured in the book cover:

~100 Jahre ist es her: “Vers une #Architecture ” und stelle fest, unter Berücksichtigung von #Corbusier ’s 5 Punkten (#Pilotis ), dass, hierzulande, #Architektur noch nie #modern war 😜

#Gebäude kleben am Boden, #Diagonalen in #city -blocks für #Fussgänger unmöglich

Le Corbusier, 100 years on: Celebrating the architect's most iconic buildings.

The Swiss-French starchitect's foundational book, 'Toward an Architecture', turns 100 this year. The source of both revilement and adoration, Euronews Culture looks at "Le Corb" and the indelible legacy he left behind.

Beginning in the mid-18th century, several French companies produced brass (and then zinc and aluminum) stencils for signage, packaging, and other labeling purposes.

Here, @stewf shares a couple sets from our collection, including a brass set dating back to ca. 1785, and another made famous by Braque and Le Corbusier.

(Thanks to Eric Kindel for the date confirmation. See his talk about the origin of these stencils: https://youtu.be/1r3X_g-oBQs)
