“COUNTERPOINT” IN ARCHITECTURE

Kazuma DOGIN, Yasutaka Yoshimura

Abstract

Counterpoint is the theory of polyphonic music developed with the purpose of balancing the chaos and homogeneity of the relation of multiple melodies. In architecture, Le Corbusier refers to this term, and he also positions that kind of musical method as a "third solution" that differs from both complete chaos and complete homogeneity.
