… what happens at the emergence from the earth’s crust or the grass’s scar and how this is mastered

5 Mar

What I am undertaking … is an attempt to develop a typology from a frog’s perspective. What interests me is how a building rises from the ground; how the architect begins; how he anchors himself in the ground, how he supports himself on it while at the same time he displaces it; what happens at the emergence from the earth’s crust or the grass’s scar and how this is mastered.

— Adolf Max Vogt, from Le Corbusier, the Noble Savage: Towards an Archaeology of Modernism
