French-Swiss architect Le
Corbusier, born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, saw the
machine age as a chance to
remake society and improve the lives of all.
His philosophy is laid out
in his "Five Points of a New Architecture:"
Pilotis, or piles:
Columns that support the building's
mass, opening the ground
underneath to free green space and
allow for automobile
movement.
The free plan:
The separation of
load-bearing columns from internal walls,
allowing free
modification of the floor plan.
The free façade:
Similar to the
free plan, the façade
could be designed flexibly, since
it has no
structural function.
The horizontal window:
The free façade can be
cut horizontally to light the whole space.
The roof garden:
Recover the sunlit green
space lost beneath the building with a garden on the roof.
His
functionalist ideology also appeared in
an emphasis on raw
geometry and opposition to
decoration of any sort, separating the architecture from
any preexisting culture.
In his view,
a building must serve
as a machine, built to fulfill
its purpose in the most economical way possible.
He wanted to bring
the industrial revolution to architecture, mass-producing buildings, and later
cities.
Le Corbusier's first foray into urban planning was the
Contemporary City (Ville Contemporaine), a universal concept for a city
of 3 million.
The plan was first presented at the Paris Salon d'Automne
in 1922, and suggested a city of tomorrow based on "a theoretically water-tight
formula to arrive at the fundamental principles of town planning."
This
rational, uncompromising plan begins with an ideal site – level, open, and
clear of buildings.
"The Corbusian connection struck me most acutely
when I realized on my recent trip that many of Honolulu's towers, both in
Waikiki and throughout the rest of the city, sit atop open-air lobbies, of the
very sort that Corbu said would bring healthy breezes to the masses.
I
suppose it makes sense in Hawaii, with the trade winds and all, but the effect
is still deadening. Ground floors are given to parking areas.
Towers
are surrounded by pointless greenery and setbacks, making them mutually hostile
towards each other.
Curb cuts interrupt the sidewalk and, in many
neighborhoods, there's really nowhere to walk to.
Mercifully, the most
complete realization of Le Corbusier's Plan Voison in the western
hemisphere took the form of Brasilia, Brazil." - Josh Stephens
"Despite
what Le Corbusier might have claimed, the pros of the transit oriented
development, highly livable communities, and increased sustainability that stem
from mixed zoning are undeniable.
The ideal urban form combines public
and private spaces - in recent years, it has become apparent that mixed-use
development is most desirable." - Alessandro Hseuh-Bruni
1943 Architect Le Corbusier publishes the Athens
Charter.
The charter shaped the design of European and American
cities for decades after the Second World War.
It presented a set of
ninety-four tenets that cities should follow to become functional and
efficient.
The Athens Charter proposed a strict formula for all
cities to follow with no regard for geography or local culture while aiming at
simplifying how cities worked, rather than to promote more complex ways of
living.
Over the years, Le Corbusier's ideas have been credited with
destroying
neighborhoods and street life, and they continue to influence city design,
from the growth of gated communities to car-centric city streets.
Housing Act of 1949
The main elements of the Act
included:
federal financing for slum clearance programs associated with
urban renewal projects in American cities (Title I)
increased
authorization for the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance
(Title II)
extension of federal money to build more than 800,000 public
housing units (Title III)
funding for research on housing and building
techniques (Title IV)
financing of "dwelling and other farm buildings
on ... farms" (Title V).
The Act governed the way the immense financial
resources of the federal government would shape the growth of American cities
in the post-war era.
The government fell far short of its goal to build
810,000 units of new public housing by 1955, providing little aid to cities
suffering from housing shortages.
Lincoln Center wasa New York
City cultural development including 4400 apartments for which 7000 apartments
were torn down.
Urban renewal also came under fire for discriminating
against minorities, in that it often resulted in minority-heavy slums being
destroyed and replaced with more expensive housing or non-residential public
works that were not accommodating to the original inhabitants.
The
federal government spent $13.5 billion on urban redevelopment and slum
clearance projects between 1953 and 1986.
technique
motive
noun
-
the reason behind a persons actions;
motivation carries the intention
of a particular goal.
adjective -
causing, or tending to
cause, motion;
pertaining to motion;
prompting to
action.
verb -
(used with object), mo·tived,
mo·tiv·ing; to
motivate.
Technological activity is the
most primitive activity of man.
The
technological phenomena is
the main preoccupation of
man.
In every field men seek to find the most efficient
method of technique.
Choice is no longer subjective
as technique requires
decision be made on the
basis of numerical
calculation.
Technique rests at the
foundation of human
psychology in the
reptilian brain.
Magik must be seen as an
attempt through technique to modify nature.
The characteristics of modern
industrial technique align with magik.
The supreme virtue of
self-control rejects technique to embrace self destiny.
In Greece
a conscious effort was
made to reduce the influence of
magik.
Rational scientific thought becomes a means to an end of
applied technique.
The preoccupation of the Greeks was a balanced life
of harmonic moderation.
Roman technique centered on
civil justice to maintain order.
"It was not until the third
century that Roman judicial technique attempted to deal with the details of
everyday life, to regulate everything, to foresee everything, leaving the
individual in a state of complete inertia.
Technical activity did not
escape moral judgement.
When an element of technique appeared to be
righteous it was adopted, but even then with excessive caution." - Jacques
Ellul
Descartes spells
out the scientific
method technique of intellectual inquiry in Discourse on the Method.
The technique of rational logical linear thinking is now applied to
thought.
A politically
stable social structure with fixed tradition stifles creativity.
But
conjoined with an
atmosphere of scientific discovery, as in the early 18th century, it
created a favorable climate for the universal acceptance of the application of
technique in the exploitation of
natural resources.
A politically unstable flexible social structure
disrupts existing exchanges by creatively replacing them as in the
European Revolutions of
1848.
Rapidly improving living conditions brought about by the
industrial revolution and the centralization of power gave rise to the myth of
progress.
US Army Field Manual 101-5-1, Operational
Terms and Graphics, defines information warfare as "actions taken to achieve
information superiority by affecting a hostile's information, information
based-processes, and information systems, while defending one's own
information, information processes, and information systems." - released 30
September 1997 |
"As an open system,
man communicates with his environment
through information flows and
communications
media.
We are on the threshold of an era in which these data
processors of the human body may be manipulated or debilitated.
An
entirely new arsenal of weapons, based on
devices designed to introduce
subliminal messages or to alter the body's psychological and data-processing
capabilities, might be used to
incapacitate
individuals.
These weapons aim to control or alter the psyche, or
to attack the various sensory and data-processing systems of the human
organism.
In both cases, the goal is to
confuse or destroy the
signals that normally keep the body in equilibrium. " - Timothy L
Thomas
Victor Solntsev examined the problem of "information noise,"
which creates a
dense shield between a person and external reality.
This noise
manifests as signals,
messages,
images and
factcheckers.
The
target of this noise
is personal or
collective consciousness.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us
int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us
ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière
Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on
reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with the Æon
through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing
the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The
tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out
in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against
individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a
"hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes
vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that
is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and
the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general
through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have
been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior
c☢rp☢rate media psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns.
The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of
s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal
elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion and
¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the
p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
