In 1936, while preparing his series of talks in Rio de Janeiro, Le Corbusier made a sketch on a piece of cardboard that distilled and concretized […] rationales of modernity: change the environment, change the man. […] his vision of a clinically inspired habitat where all human needs can be met reached a new level of specificity. […] He was convinced that the human body, the anatomo-politics of its productivity, and the built environment should be managed by the State. In a 1941 broadcast he affirmed that ”[…] The degeneration of the house, the degeneration of the family, are one.”
