Maison La Roche today and the Weissenhofsiedlung in 1927.
Both in 1927 at the Weissenhofsiedlung and in 2008 at the Maison La Roche cars make a big contrast to Corbusier’s architecture. Corbusier’s buildings simply succeed to appear timeless - whatever car parks in front.

I think there is a difference... In the old picture the brand new house looks much more futuristic compared to the brandnew car...(it was way ahead of it´s time)
In the 2nd foto the brandnew car looks quite the same age as the old building... (they are almost the same)
means: what house do we have to design that looks that much more futuristic as LC´s house did back in the 20´s...?
Or:
In the 20´s arcitecture was way ahead the designs of the car-design industry!
What glorious years ;)
