"ARCHITECTURE IS THE WORLD CONJURED FROM THE QUARRY OF MYTH." —JEF7REY HILDNER, DISTURBANCE

In honor of the centennial of a book―

TOWARD AN ARCHITECTURE
1923
By Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris
aka Le Corbusier
Architect Painter Writer

. . .

THE GENIUS OF LE CORBUSIER, the Swiss-French master, inspired me 50 years ago as a student at Princeton University to likewise become an architect, painter, and writer.

Through these three primary roles, I express my vision of the Form and Story of the World.

A sequel to my first Le Corbusier tribute, Toward An Architecture AI | 2023, Disturbance presents more visions of my dream house, Daedalus 9: The Labyrintheum | House of the Hero's Journey, inspired by the tragic yet heroic ancient Greek myth about the protagonist Joseph Campbell called "the hero of the way of thought"―the architect of the Labyrinth and Wings . . .

I envision the final design emerging from an artistic fusion of Natural Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence, which I call ZIntelligence.

The result? A ZI House.

"Architecture is a story told through a building," as I proclaimed in my book Visual Ef9ects. And I dream of someday supervising robots and androids as they build the story told through Daedalus 9.

The world conjured from the quarry of myth.

Above all, I seek to transform the world through the magic of art, simultaneously aesthetic and symbolic, resonating with a paranormal blend of originality and archetypal power.

I aspire to evoke emotion, herald brave creativity, and reveal a universe we can't see if we take the Blue Pill.

Architecture is the Red Pill.

I hope this book inspires a metamorphic Disturbance ―like Le Corbusier's book Toward an Architecture, the epic prequel to my modest tribute.
