"La maison est une machine à habiter" (English: "The house is a machine for living in") stated Le Corbusier in Vers une architecture in 1923.
These "Machines for living" illustrated for various critics, including Tom Wolfe, both the essential unlivability of Bauhaus-inspired box architecture, and the hubris of central planning.
The Pruitt-Igoe housing project represented the end of this Corbusier esthetic and the start of postmodern architecture.
