Schodek and LeMessurier’s essay on the Carpenter Center mentions the challenge of interpreting Le Corbusier’s intent from his drawings and comments, which were often filtered through his colleague Jose Luis Sert. The essay closes with an observation about poor concrete work on the front façade which was the result of inadequate attention to the concrete mix prior to placement. This led to a noticeable “splotch” in an otherwise uniform concrete wall. When Le Corbusier was informed of the flaw, he did not ask for the wall to be rebuilt, but instead said, “Oh no, let that be a lesson to the students of architecture.” Using the numerous lessons that the Carpenter Center, and extended into the Pompidou Center, the Villa Bourdeaux, and the Clinton Presidential Center, explain in your own words the relationship between structure, tectonics, and construction.
