DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*: The speaker describes his stay in Le Corbusier's a
 partment in Paris in 2003 in a book\nentitled "24 NC". The experience felt
  went back to Cambridge in 1959 when Le Corbusier came to receive his hono
 rary doctorate degree and was ambushed by students who shouted "À bas l'A
 cadémie!!"\, the master's own tirade against university establishment. St
 ephen Mullin and John Sergeant who were on the scene in 1959 will help to 
 explain the Modern movement at CUSA which was sealed by Le Corbusier's and
  Henry Moore's joint lecture at the School on that occasion.\n\n*Biography
