New Look, New Start


House of Tripod changed its look. Let's look at some other transformations: cities before and after.

There's even a Corbusier city plan for Dr Owen. Le Corbu would have destroyed Paris! Just like he would have destroyed the Ghetto.

Interestingly, I didn't know the Barbican in London was built on a war ravaged site.

apparently corbs was consulted in the 50s/60s for montreal. and what he proposed was to run a highway like the bonaventure all along de la commune in old montreal to connect to the east. can you imagine old m, with a huge highway in front of it. that would have destroyed Mtl too.
someone should have taken away corbs's urban planning privileges.

yes! he did a plan to destroy the McGill ghetto and build all towers from La Cite! Only La Cite was built because the McGill students wouldn't budge.
