PAVILION / LE CORBUSIER

This building from le Corbusier, built in 1930,

is an example of modern architecture. If we
discuss this project in the context of the death
of the author, then I must say that the author
(architect) of this building has died but
managed to stay alive through this project.
Because if we interpret the building, we can
see the five main points depicted in Le
Corbusier's every project. We can't study this
modern building without discussing the
Domino style in architecture, which eventually
leads us towards the architect le Corbusier.
VON STERNBERG HOUSE
BY RICHARD NEUTRA

This house was open in 1935 was a beautiful

example of modern architecture. If we see the
project, we conclude that this house is an
example of Bauhaus agreeing with Roland
Barthes. If I argue about this building, I will not
discuss it as this is the project of a particular
architect. However, it's an example of the
Bauhaus style that many other authors
(architects) used in their projects. Though this
is one of the architect's well-known works, it
is not taking us directly to the architect as I
discussed in the previous project of le
Corbusier.

If we look at the work of Nevinson, we get to

see clusters, the rush of colours, weapons, war
and soldiers, Etc. So this painting doesn't
appreciate the artist's style. But, on the other
hand, the tunnellers is a quiet and soft painting
that contrasts with the artist's other artworks.
However, this painting is after world war one
and also telling about a scene from the war.
But it is not a noisy painting and is a
contrasted artwork from the artist showing
less sign of Nevinson to the artist of this
painting.

This painting is an artwork from the same

artist but different and reflects his actual
genre. Christopher’s most paintings were
about war, chaos Etc., and this is one of them
depicting the rush and bombardment in the
city. Observing this artwork can leads us to
the other artworks of the author. Due to the
style and the genre of this painting
