History of urban planningPrompt 1: Center and region I: Compare the urban plans and philosophies of Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. What are the spatial, social and economic factors of each plan?“Wright and Le Corbusier seem predestined for comparison. Their ideal cities compare like two opposing variations of the same utopian theme” (Fishman, 163). Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, more commonly known as Le Corbusier (6 October 1887 – 27 August 1965), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner and writer. Throughout his life he was a pioneer of modern architecture and urban planning (Frampton, 12). One of Le Corbusier's contemporaries was also extremely influential but with a competing plan Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959), an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator. Wright is known as one of the most important individuals in American architecture of all time (Riley, 2). Both Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright reacted to the density and overcrowding of cities in their urban plans and philosophies. Le Corbusier's urban planning was consistent in many of his plans, including La Ville Contemporaine (the Contemporary City), Plan Voisin and La Ville Radieuse (the Radiant City). Wright's organic architectural style was evident in his plan for Broadacre City, which he proposed consistently throughout much of his life. Both of these influential men grew up outside of big cities and neither had a formal education in the fields that altered it forever (Fishman 164). This essay aims to analyze the spatial, social and economic factors of these two influential contemporaries by exposing both plans and then exposing the comparison.
