Answer 1

No. I'll never forgive him. Le Corbusier was representative of the discredited notion that people can be molded to be more social through external interventions. His ideas represent the height of arrogance, and led to the disasterous programs of social engineering (especially through architecture) that were so popular in the middle of the 20th century.
