DESCRIPTION:Mary Mc Leod\, Professor of Architecture\, Planning and Preser
 vation\, Columbia University\, New York\nThis lecture examines Le Corbusie
 r’s architecture and planning proposals from the1930s to World War II\, 
 examining in particular his projects for the Radiant City\, Radiant Farm\,
  and Algiers.  It focuses on the relationship of these works to his polit
 ical ideas\, especially his involvement with a little known political move
 ment Regional Syndicalism during the 1930s\, which was part of a larger te
 ndency in France during the period known as l’esprit des années trente.
   It also considers his involvement with the Vichy government in the earl
 y 1940s and the projects undertaken under its auspices.  More generally\,
  it explores the transformation in his aesthetic approach from the white v
 illas of the 1920s to the more rustic and regionally based projects of the
  1930s and how this transformation might be linked to the changes in his i
 deological position during this period.
