schematic chapter 5
1995.12.12
The fifth chapter--Purism as Ultimate Assimilation will cover:
1. the relationship between Purist Architecture and Beaux Arts/eclectic architecture; ironically both are assimilation in the extreme, yet purism adds the necessary element of purge
2. a brief history of Purism? - this could address the notion of architectural "style" in that Purism is a deliberate attempt to manifest an entirely new architectural style, (in a sense manifesting an entirely new period in history, if not an altogether new history itself)
3. an analysis of the Villa Monzie and the Villa Stein and the introduction of the promenade architecturale
4. an analysis of the Villa Savoye as both the full fruition of Purism and of the promenade architecturale
5. a bibliography of the promenade architecturale
