Le Corbusier: Painter and Architect by Rene Tan 26 May (Sat), 2pm-3.30pm, Patron,s Club As we move beyond the vagaries of fashion, trends and styles of the late 20th century and into the uncertainties of the 21st century, the lessons of the Swiss-French architect remain all the more pertinent and applicable to the visual and built-world around us. In this lecture, rediscover the great master Le Corbusier (1887 - 1965) and examine the inter-relatedness amongst disciplines of the arts and design in general, and amongst painting and architecture in particular. Rene Tan received his architecture training at Princeton and is a practising architect and partner at SCDA Architects in Singapore. He has served as a juror at universities including Cornell, Berkeley, Syracuse and NUS. Rene has in the past few years been travelling, visiting the buildings of, and teaching courses related to Le Corbusier. He currently also lectures at the LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts.
