>"“To be with him was to find him always discovering.”"I cannot remember when first I met Le Corbusier, but I think it was at the International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM) at Bridgewater in 1947, when he made little impression on me. I was new to CIAM conferences and realized that there was some kind of political trouble going on between Corb and Cor van Eesteren — I remember Corb being rather dogmatic.

I found him a man with a serious purpose, egocentric but also able to appreciate others.
