: 'Life is Right - the Architect is Wrong'
It wasn't an enraged client who called the architect wrong - it was the architect talking about himself. And what's more it was the most influential architect of the 20th century - Le Corbusier - the subject of last Sunday's Omnibus. Le Corbusier built nothing in Great Britain but he deeply influenced three generations of architects, both in the way they designed and in how they saw their role in society.In tonight's programme we look at modern architects and architecture and how it began here. In the studio Jim Douglas Henry explores a new approach to the vexing problem of the relationship between the architects and the people who have to live in what they create. As one young architect puts it: 'What our generation of architects wants is to get away from the aesthetic viewpoint, away from the "great" architect, towards a future in which architects help other people to create their environment for themselves.' A full size mock-up of one design showing how architects can help people build for themselves will be demonstrated in the studio and discussed by architects and their clients.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
