RE: Getting Back at Le Corbusier : Spray-painting the Villa Savoye

in #art7 years ago

So good! Extremely jealous you got to do a workshop with Daniel Libeskind. Love how you made narrative structure and social critique central to your sum of architecture. I had not heard of his history of misogyny, but was aware of his connection to fascism, anti-Semitism, and connection to the nazi party. All extremely troubling.

How does knowledge of repulsive actions of an architect of the past, actions that you would not accept from anyone in any field today, affect how you view their work and its influence today? (ex. Le Corpbusier and Phillip Johnson's connections to the Nazi Party, Paolo Soleri's recently history of sexual abuse of his daughter, etc.)
