Icarus & Daedalus
Reception to follow
Le Corbusier claimed that the “airplane eye” allowed for a new way of envisioning the urban environment. Using architectural icons from 1939, the lecture explores the relationship between aerial photography and urban planning: for each pioneer sky pilot like Icarus, there's a pioneer architect like Daedalus. This lecture is dedicated to Prof. Giovanna Franci
