Corbusier and Mass Production

“In his chapter titled Mass–Production Houses he said “…architecture has for its first duty, in this period of renewal, that of bringing about a revision of values, a revision of the constituent elements of the house… we must create a mass production spirit: the spirit of constructing mass production houses.”

Architecture would be as efficient as a factory assembly line. Soon, Le Corbusier was developing standardised housing 'types' like the 'Immeuble-villa' (made real with the Pavilion de l'Esprit Nouveau of 1925), and the Maison Citrohan (a play on words suggesting the building industry should adopt the methods of the mass production automobile industry), which he hoped would solve the chronic housing problems of industrialised countries.
