| Event Name: | The Olympic Stadium Project - Le Corbusier and Baghdad |
| Description: | This display will examine one of the last projects by Le Corbusier, begun in 1957, his fascinating design for a sports stadium in Baghdad. With specially commissioned models, it will give a sense of what this marvellous structure would have looked like had the project come to fruition. The stadium was planned around a set of innovative radially arranged ribs or voiles, the designs for 20 of which will also feature in the display.
Le Corbusier regarded athletes as metaphors for modern man, and with Pierre Jeanneret he created an experimental design for a huge stadium for 100 000 people for athletic/cultural use. Le Corbusier referred to it as a civic tool for a modern age.
With thanks to the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal.
