In the following paper we present an examination of the vision and place of order in Le Corbusiers architecture and urban design. The paper then discusses new reinterpretations of order
in the work of current architecture as it relates to finding that hidden order through the use of various theories. Le Corbusier "Le Corbusier is probably the most

the richness and variety of his work and his passionately expressed philosophy of architecture" (Le Corbusier: Kenneth Frampton, 2002). We find that when we look through his long life we
