Abstract
No better words than these written by Emil Kaufmann can summarize Le Corbusier's aim during his “Period of Invention,” stretching from 1918 to 1922.2 To reconcile the irreconcilable, that is, to reconcile such polarities as private and public, individuality and collectivity, personal and impersonal, unity and diversity—just to name a few examples—was one of Le Corbusier's most urgent tasks during this period of search and invention.
