"Five Points of a New Architecture"

"Five Points of a New Architecture" (Les cinq points d'une architecture nouvelle, sometimes referred to as the "Five Points of Architecture") is a short essay written by the noted modernist architect Le Corbusier. Drawing on his earlier design work and writing, the manifesto attempts to elucidate the architectural possibilities of newly-developed modern construction methods.

It was first given as a lecture at Weissenhof Siedlung in 1927 and a revised text was published in the first volume of Corbusier's Oeuvre complete in 1929. By 1935, Corbusier had softened the views embodied in the Five Points, embracing elements of the vernacular in his work.
