Le Corbusier On Mastery
Le Corbusier’s description here is of Mastery in Architecture.
Mastery materialised in design creates some additional something that cannot be described.
’work reaches a maximum of intensity, when it has been made with the best quality of execution, when it has reached perfection … When this happens the places start to radiate. They radiate in a physical way and determine what I call ‘ineffable space’, that is to say, a space that does not depend on dimensions but on the quality of its perfection.
It belongs to the dominion of the ineffable, of that which cannot be said’.
