a predominant force or most significant force is selected and model is designed on the basis of ratio of this force. What is the reason for this? What happens to other forces?

Le Corbusier was fascinated by certain engineering objects. This interest was well expressed in his book Towards a new Architecture (1923) and well captured by his definition of house as “a machine for living in”. In a similar vein, Walter Gropius outlined the new orientation of his school as “the Bauhaus believes the machine to be our modern medium of design and seeks to come to terms with it.”

What do these two statements mean? What is the relation between ‘architecture’ and ‘machine’ as stated by these two architects? Explain your answer by using at least one building by Le Corbusier and one building by Walter Gropius.
