Can a single artistic work be representative of its author’s broader theoretical thinking? Good architecture is always a representation of a precise theory of architecture, even more so when it is generated from the mind of a master. Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis I. Kahn and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, are four masters each with their own vision of architecture, each carrying precise cultural instances. Unité d’Habitation, Johnson Wax Building, Phillips Exeter Academy Library and Seagram Building are architectures that fully reflect the theoretical thinking of those who designed them and can be important references from which to draw and reinterpret for any future project.
