Architecture or Revolution details the impact of advancements in technology and their significant effects on the 'social mechanism' and the traditional family dynamic. Le Corbusier also explores the relationship between the 'industry, enterprise, construction', and explains how improvements in these areas dictates a change in architecture.
It is important to note AoR's addressing of the human response to the technology/architecture coexistance, noting the decay of the filial structure, the inevitable disinterest of 'the old codification of architecture' and our humanistic desire to create using newer methods as a result.
Whilst Le Corbusier professes the
significant impact of technology in a seemingly positive manner (unavoidable due to human nature), however, his analysis of its effect as 'the destruction of the family' and comment that 'Revolution can be avoided' seemed to confuse our class
