Abstract

Le Corbusier's architectural polychromy was analyzed on following 3 aspects. 1. The influence of De Stijl, which introduced polychromy into architecture before Le Corbusier. 2. Relations between purism's painting theory and architectural polychromy. 3. Relations between usage of equi-directional planning grid and architectural polychromy. The conclusions are as follows. 1. Architectural polychromy is the application of purism's painting theory. 2. To apply purism's painting theory to architecture, standard planes have to be established in architecture. 3. Identified with the standard planes of architectural polychromy, the imaginary standard planes to be provided by the equi-directional planning grid are able to apply purist's painting theory into architecture.
