The 150+ models of the works of Le Corbusier (1887-1965) exhibited here are from the private collection of RT+Q Architects, Singapore.
The models are the products, observations and discoveries of office interns. Through the last 20 years, it has been a ‘tradition’ for RT+Q interns to spend their first week studying and building a scaled model of a Le Corbusier project. Rather than filling up minds with lessons at the office, the aim is to open them up and acquaint the aspiring architect with the diverse design legacy of arguably the most encyclopaedic architect of the 20th century.
While most built projects are represented, we believe the true merits of the collection lies in the lesser-known unbuilt projects. The range of projects also testify to the diversity in form, materials, programme, clientele etc of Le Corbusier’s oeuvre.
The models lend everyone priceless insights into the mind of a master architect. In the spirit of education and sharing, LC150+ stand as testimonies to—and physical manifestations of—the passion and energies of RT+Q interns.
