  • Charles-Édouard Jeanneret
    L E COR- BUS- CHARLES-ÉDOUARDIER JEANNERET Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pio- neers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades; he constructed buildings in Eu- rope, Japan, India, and North and South America. Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne (CIAM). Le Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there. On July 17, 2016, seventeen projects by Le Corbusier in seven countries were inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites as “an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement”. Charles-Édouard Jeanneret was born on October 6, 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a small city in the French-speaking Neuchâtel canton in north-western Switzerland, in the Jura mountains, just 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) across the border from France. It was an industrial town, devoted to the manufacture of watches. (He adopted the pseudonym Le Corbusier in 1933 of Le Corbusier in 1920). His father was an artisan who Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris[1] October 6, 1887 enameled boxes and watches, while his mother gave piano La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland lessons. His elder brother Albert was an amateur violinist. Died :August 27, 1965 (aged 77) Roquebrune :Cap-Martin, France [3] He attended a kindergarten that used Fröbelian Nationality :Swiss, French methods.

RESUMO Em 1951, o arquiteto Le Corbusier foi convidado por seu amigo, o industrialista André Jaoul para projetar duas casas uma para ele e sua esposa e outra para a família de seu filho, no subúrbio de Paris. Devido ao orçamento reduzido, Le Corbusier adotou o uso de paredes portantes de tijolos, coberturas em abóbadas catalãs e vigas de concreto aparente. Estas escolhas definiram a estética brutalista do projeto e fizeram com que as Maisons Jaoul se tornassem conhecidas mundialmente.

  • Le Corbusier Y El Salon D' Automne De París. Arquitectura Y
    Le Corbusier y el Salon d’ Automne de París. Arquitectura y representación, 1908-1929 José Ramón Alonso Pereira “Arquitectura y representación” es un tema plural que abarca tanto la figuración como la manifestación, Salón d’ Automne imagen y escenografía de la arquitectura. Dentro de él, se analiza aquí cómo Le Corbusier plantea una interdependencia entre la arquitectura y su imagen que conlleva no sólo un nuevo sentido del espacio, sino Le Corbusier también nuevos medios de representarlo, sirviéndose de los más variados vehículos expresivos: de la acuarela Équipement de l’habitation al diorama, del plano a la maqueta, de los croquis a los esquemas científicos y, en general, de todos los medios posibles de expresión y representación para dar a conocer sus inquietudes y sus propuestas en un certamen Escala singular: el Salón de Otoño de París; cuna de las vanguardias. Espacio interior Le Corbusier concurrió al Salón d’ Automne con su arquitectura en múltiples ocasiones. A él llevó sus dibujos de Oriente y a él volvió en los años veinte a exhibir sus obras, recorriendo el camino del arte-paisaje a la arquitectura y, dentro de ella -en un orden inverso, anti-clásico-, de la gran escala o escala urbana a la escala edificatoria y a la pequeña escala de los espacios interiores y el amueblamiento. “Architecture and Representation” is a plural theme that includes both figuration as manifestation, image and Salon d’ Automne scenography of architecture. Within it, here it is analyzed how Le Corbusier proposes an interdependence between architecture and image that entails not only a new sense of space, but also new means of representing it, using Le Corbusier the most varied expressive vehicles: from watercolor to diorama, from plans to models, from sketches to scientific Équipement de l’habitation schemes and, in general, using all possible expression and representation means to make known their concerns and their proposals, all of them within a singular contest: the Paris’s Salon d’ Automne; cradle of art avant-gardes.

  • Le Corbusier's Cité De Refuge
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.796 Le Corbusier’s Cité de Refuge: historical & technological performance of the air exacte L.M. Diaz, R. Southall School of Arts, Design and Media, University of Brighton Abstract: Despite a number of attempts by Le Corbusier to implement the combination of ‘respiration exacte’ with the ‘mur neutralisant’ he was never able to test the viability of his environmental concepts in a realised building. The Cité de Refuge, which was built with a more conventional heating system and single glazed facade, is however unique in that unlike the other potential candidates for the implementation of these systems, the building, as built, retained a key design feature, i.e. the hermetically sealed skin, which ultimately contributed to the building’s now infamous failure. It is commonly argued that Le Corbusier, however, abandoned these comprehensive technical solutions in favour of a more passive approach, but it is less well understood to what extent technical failures influenced this shift. If these failures were one of the drivers for this change, how the building may have performed with the ‘respiration exacte’ and ‘mur neutralisant’ systems becomes of interest. Indeed, how their performance may have been improved with Le Corbusier's later modification of a brise-soleil offers an alternative hypothetical narrative for his relationship to technical and passive design methodologies. Keywords: environment, technology, performance, history, Cité de Refuge. 1. Introduction There are two technical building concepts that represent, perhaps more than any others Le Corbusier’s early drive to find comprehensive and exclusively mechanical approaches to the heating and ventilation of modern buildings: a) the mur neutralisant, a double-skin glazed wall with conditioned air circulated within the cavity to moderate heat exchange between the interior and exterior, and b) the respiration exacte, a mechanical ventilation system for providing conditioned air to interior spaces at a constant temperature of 18˚C.

  • 10 Franc Banknote: Le Corbusier (Charles Edouard Jeanneret),1887-1965 Architect, Town Planner and Theoretician, Painter, Sculptor and Writer
    10 franc banknote: Le Corbusier (Charles Edouard Jeanneret),1887-1965 Architect, town planner and theoretician, painter, sculptor and writer Le Corbusier is regarded as one of the outstanding creative personalities of the twentieth century. He was a universal designer who was active in many fields: as an architect, town planner, painter, sculptor and the author of numerous books on architecture, urban planning and design. Le Corbusier's remarkable ability to communicate his ideas helped to gain recognition for his theories throughout the world. His work is a modern Gesamtkunstwerk that combines individual disciplines into a complex whole. This is particularly apparent in his visionary urban planning projects. Le Corbusier pioneered a quintessentially modern approach to architecture. Urban planning Le Corbusier's concepts of residential building design are based on extensive studies of the social, architectural and urban planning problems of the industrial era. Le Corbusier always placed the human being at the centre of his creative principles. In his book Urbanisme (The City of Tomorrow), published in 1924, and in numerous other studies on this topic, he formulated some of the most important principles of modern urban planning: the city, he wrote, must be planned as an organic whole and designed in spatial terms to support the functions of living, work, recreation, education and transport. One important goal was to separate work and relaxation into spaces that would be experienced separately. Chandigarh (1950 - 1962) Although Le Corbusier was involved in numerous urban planning projects, only two were implemented: Pessac- Bordeaux (1925) and Chandigarh. In this latter project, Le Corbusier received a contract from the government of India in 1950 to build the new capital of the Indian state of Punjab, which was established after the Second World War.

  • Los Alzados Inmateriales Como Planos Abstractos Y Su Control Geométrico
    CAPÍTULO 5: LOS ALZADOS INMATERIALES COMO PLANOS ABSTRACTOS Y SU CONTROL GEOMÉTRICO. Como sostenía Scully, los alzados de Garches están sólo dibujados y no construidos. Son de papel. Se redibujaron posteriormente a la obra, para su publicación en “L´Architecture Vivante” y posteriormente en L´Oeuvre Complète. Son esquemas, y como tal han de ser considerados, Contienen errores, como el único tensor de la marquesina; pero demuestran el control de la Geometría en las composiciones de Le Corbusier mediante los trazados reguladores. El texto que los acompaña recalca el carácter de la geometría como mecanismo de obtención de la emoción en arquitectura. Tras una página doble homogénea en la que la que sólo aparecía un tipo de representación (la planta), Le Corbusier vuelve a una página doble con una composición multifacética. El montaje de esta página doble está compuesto por un texto, dos planos (el alzado delantero y el trasero), y una secuencia de 8 fotografías. Es la única página doble sobre Garches donde se mezclan estos tres métodos de descripción: el escrito del texto, el plano y la fotografía. No es por lo tanto un modo ortodoxo de representación. Al darse esta conjugación de los 3 elementos; es necesario que sean vistos de modos distintos: la lectura atenta del texto, la detención de la mirada ante la objetividad del plano, para pasar después a la continuidad fragmentaria y la superposición visual de la secuencia de imágenes. Lo visual y lo mental están continuamente relacionándose. Es manifiesto que estas dos páginas no pueden sino concebirse como una sola, dado que dos imágenes del recorrido “saltan” de la página 145 a la página 144.
