In:
Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: the highest ideals of the new, utopian International Style
at its time. While it was intended to be a critique of the
existing architectural culture, or rather a new international
architectural vocabulary after the washing-away wave of
World War II, it doesn't seem more different from Laugier's
primitive hut. The frontispiece to Abbe Laugier's Essay of 1753
(Image 2) was intended to urge contemporary architects to
keep in mind the primitive origins of architecture through the
little rustic hut. While if Laugier were questioned today about
a conventional house design and his primitive hut, he would
surely agree that the primitive hut was intended as a critique
of the conventional. Probably because it had reduced itself
to nothing but architecture or a structure or should you call
it a space. How much the space was liveable in regularly, was
never an issue. The fundamentals of a structure were present
in the hut: four columns, connecting beams and a roof. The
space that the roof covered was the virtually bounded area
of the house. The boundary was more psychological than
functional.
