Le Corbusier
"The street is a traffic machine; it is in reality a sort of factory for producing speed traffic. The modern street is a new 'organ.' We must create a type of street which shall be as well equipped in its way as a factory." (Le Corbusier, 131)
"The city of to-day is a dying thing because it is not geometrical. To build in the open would be to replace our present haphazard arrangements, which are all we have to-day, by a uniform lay-out. Unless we do this there is no salvation." (Le Corbusier, 171)
The result of a true geometrical lay-out is repetition. The result of repetition is a standard, the perfect form. A geometrical lay-out means that mathematics play their part…. To introduce uniformity into the building of the city we must industrialize building." (Le Corbusier, 171)
