Revisit Flaine and Les Arcs

摘要

'The human organism - having had its psychic and physical energies consumed in the city - needs a powerful confrontation to provide quick regeneration, which can only come about through direct contact with the rawest nature.' Discussing dwelling and leisure at CIAM 5 in Paris in the summer of 1937, Josep Lluis Sert, Le Corbusier, Szymon Syrkus and their friends stipulated zones of 'complete leisure' within the 'framework of a national plan' with the necessary infrastructure and a 'network of fast transportation'. A law would prevent mountainous landscapes from being exploited by private entrepreneurs while these same scenic settings would 'offer an extremely large field of study and experimentation for urban planning and architecture'.
