IST

Raw concrete. No apology. The structure IS the ornament. Form follows force. Ten thousand people sleep inside this machine for living — and it does not care what they dream.

THE TYPOLOGY
Corbusier

La Maison Radieuse. The machine for living. Pilotis raise the slab from the earth as if embarrassed by the ground.

Lasdun

National Theatre. Strata. Layers of poured intention stacked against the Thames, daring the sky to complain.

Rudolph

Art & Architecture. Ribbed. Corduroy concrete dragged across form so the shadows always fall right.
