+: «For murals, a more passive role was found to be appropriate. Insteud of 'radiating' in front of blank walls, thus dominating the architectural conmpsition, the mural ought to work as a 'background'. The house of his fried Jean Badovici at Cap Martin functioned as a testing ground in this context. For a number of murals painted there, Le Corbusier is said to have chosen locations where architecturally speaking 'nothing happended'. The same was true of the large mural in the Swiss Pavilion a the Cité universitaire in Paris. Its placement in a music and reading room adjacent to the lobby, so that it did not interfere with the organization of the architectural spaces, once again suggests a dialogue among the arts that is based on a play of potentially open-ended, flexible combinations – a sort of bricolage of different art forms – rather than on hierarchy and subordination. The idea is perhaps best illustrated by Le Corbusier's concept of the 'Muralnomad' (mural for nomads) which summarizes his ideas about tapestry.» (Von Moos, 1968/2009, p. 273–274)
