In 2006, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) constructed a 1:1 reproduction of Le Corbusier’s Cabanon. In January of 2010, a group of students at the University of Waterloo Architecture also constructed a 1:1 reproduction the Cabanon…. out of tape! This video shows the construction and relates it to the original Cabanon. The voice speaking is a man in Great Britain giving a tour of the interior of the RIBA’s Cabanon. He speaks of the Cabanon as a physical manifestation of Le Corbusier’s aspirations toward the purity and simplicity of monistic life. Please enjoy.
