Le Corbusier’s theory itself is explicitly in the form of: The architectural revolution — for it is a real revolution — implies different acts: 1. to classify 2. to dimension 3. to circulate 4. to compose 5. to proportion. The emergence of this revolution is due to the need to build 500000 houses where the housing must be built very well and at a low price. Therefore, a mass production strategy was introduced. After that, there is le modulor as a measure of proportion where le modulor is a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial and the metric system. It is based on the height of a man with his arms raised. assisted by le modulator and golden ratio then there is a grid proportion. vertical connections, elevators, ramps, stairways, ladders; horizontal connections (circulation): what are they? one simultaneous perception produces architectural emotion — good or bad. Therefore, one should recognize the organs of the house, make a list, classify them. one of them is a vertical connection, circulation or horizontal connection. in the section to circulate theory le corbu, there is a statement “Monsieur will have his cell, Madame also, Mademoiselle also. Each of these cells has floors and ceilings carried by freestanding independent columns. Each cell opens by a door on a walkway along the three apartments . Once through each door one is in a complete unit made up of an entrance, a dressing room” . In this statement, each cell has freestanding independent columns where Le Corbusier in arranging the columns uses a grid. therefore the grid in le corbusier is not explicitly conveyed. So that the grid is the method used to read Le Corbu’s theory functionally. So that in this speculation and experiment it is in the form of how the visually 2D grid is functionally used to arrange columns and circulation and then deconstructed geometrically, one of which is folded, bent, to form 3D. the le Corbusier grid itself is a rectangular grid with a planar shape. So that this deconstruction exploration has parameters without changing this planar element, based on Helmut Pottman’s architectural geometry book, planar transformations can be in the form of translation, rotation and reflection. In order for this transformation to have the same deformation parameters, the method used is the grasshopper application. Form a grid there and then rotate it using the same parameters so that a new grid appears. The buildings built by le Corbusier are housing units, villas, community centers, and museums. In le Corbusier’s work, the building typology that fits this concept is the housing unit because the grid concept will match the housing unit. The concept used in this design is in the form of grid deformation, the use of colors used by le corbu to map the space so as to form circulation, placement of space and the size of the space, as well as the use of materials in the form of concrete.
