Los arquitectos suizos han dejado su impron- ta en las ciudades más importantes del mundo, reinventando el espacio, experimentando con nuevos materiales y formas, y transformando el arte de construir. Muchos de los arquitectos contemporáneos —si no todos— han sido in- fluenciados por el gran pionero suizo de la arquitectura moderna, Charles Édouard Jeanneret, mejor conocido como Le Corbusier, quien creció en La Chaux-de-Fonds, la única ciudad en Suiza construida con base en un plan piloto racional, lo que indudablemente marcó al joven. Su percepción y su capacidad de innovar siguen impactando a los arquitectos y urbanistas de todas las latitudes. Le Corbusier era ciudadano suizo y a la vez, del mundo. Vivía en diferentes países, y viajaba y trabajaba en muchos lugares siempre curioso de aprender, de descubrir, de innovar y de modernizar. En el 2016, la Unesco declaró patri- monio de la humanidad 17 obras de Le Corbusier en 7 países, y honró así su excepcional contribución al movimiento moderno. Le Corbusier también dejó su huella en Colombia, en sus cinco largas esta- días entre 1947 y 1951, sobre todo en Bogotá. A través del Plan Director de Bogotá, elaborado en este tiempo bajo su dirección, dejó un fuerte impacto en la planificación urbanística de la ciudad y definió, por ejemplo, la actual carrera 30 o avenida Ciudad de Quito. Más allá, un grupo de grandes ar- quitectos colombianos como Germán Samper, Rogelio Salmona o Reinaldo Valencia trabajaron con Le Corbusier en Europa y trajeron esta experiencia a sus obras en Colombia. La exposición El trabajo arquitectónico de Le Corbusier: una contribución ex- cepcional al movimiento moderno. 17 obras declaradas patrimonio de la huma- nidad, concebida por la Fundación Le Corbusier en París, permite al público colombiano acercarse a la obra de este gran arquitecto suizo y apreciar su poder creativo e innovador. Agradezco la incansable labor de los arquitectos, profesores y expertos en Le Corbusier, María Cecilia O’Byrne, Ricardo Daza e Íngrid Quintana, así como la asesoría de la arquitecta Virginia Gutiérrez en la realización de esta importante exposición, al igual que el apoyo de la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad los Andes y al Archivo de Bogotá, para realizar tanto la exposición como el simposio internacional sobre el impacto de la obra de Le Corbusier. Kurt Kunz Embajador de Suiza en Colombia En 1951, en su quinto y último viaje a Bogotá, Le Corbusier visitó la recién fundada Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad de los Andes, dirigida por Francisco Pizano de Brigard. Fue el primer contacto de esta institución con uno de los protagonistas de la arquitectura moderna del siglo XX, a la cual sus fundadores querían sumarse proponien- do un currículum basado en las experiencias de la Bauhaus. A finales de la misma década, dos arquitectos colombianos que fueron colaboradores en el atelier del 35, rue de Sèvres en París, dejaron su huella en los Andes. El primero de ellos fue Germán Samper Gnecco, decano de la facultad entre 1956 y 1959. Gracias a su ges- tión, Rogelio Salmona regresó a Colombia, se vinculó a la universidad como profesor de Historia de la Arquitectura y vivió por un tiempo en el propio campus uniandino. Estos dos colaboradores colombianos de Le Corbusier en París marcaron no solo la historia de la arquitectura del país, sino que dibujaron dos tendencias fuertemente marcadas por posiciones enfrentadas sobre las bondades o problemas de seguir las enseñanzas que, a través de su obra, proponía Le Corbusier. Este enfrentamiento sigue vivo en las academias del país. Con la celebración, en 1987, del centenario del nacimiento de Le Corbusier, un grupo de profesores de la facultad participó activamente en los festejos que incluyeron un concurso público, una exposición y un libro. En 2010, la Facultad volvió a apoyar un proyecto de divulgación del proyecto del Plan Piloto para Bogotá, 1949-1951, realizado por Le Corbusier en asocio con Josep Lluís Sert, Paul Lester Wiener y la Oficina del Plan Regulador en Bogotá. En 2018, la Facultad de Arquitectura y Diseño se aúna al trabajo interinstitucional que ha permitido producir el libro y exposición con los que celebramos la declaratoria de la Unesco a 17 obras de Le Corbusier. Agradezco especialmente a la Fundación Le Corbusier, que prestó generosamente el material gráfico que aquí se presenta; a la Embajada Suiza en Colombia, que hizo posible su realización; al Archivo de Bogotá, por prestar sus instalaciones para realizar la exposición y el seminario académico «Patrimonio moderno: arquitectura, ciudad y fotografía»; así como al Instituto Distrital de Patrimonio Cultural y la Sociedad Colombiana de Arquitectos, seccional Bogotá (Cundinamarca), que apoyaron desde sus inicios esta iniciativa. Finalmente, agradezco a la iniciativa y trabajo de los investigadores María Cecilia O’Byrne, Íngrid Quintana (profesoras del Departamento de Arquitectura) y Ricardo Daza (pro- fesor de la Universidad Nacional), quienes han adaptado a nuestro contexto el material que aquí se presenta y que contribuye a la enseñanza e investigación de la arquitectura, haciendo un llamado a valorar y preservar el patrimonio moderno colombiano.

  • 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.

It is the smallest and simplest of the white villas Le Corbusier designed, to fit with his parents limited budget; indeed it no longer appears as a white villa, because structural problems caused by the lake, the cellar and the cheap building materials drove Le Corbusier to face the exterior in aluminum in the 1950s.

  • Exposition : Le Corbusier Et La Question Du Brutalisme
    Marseille, capitale européenne de la culture 2013 Exposition : Le Corbusier et la question du brutalisme Le Corbusier, né Charles-Edouard Jeanneret Gris le 6 octobre 1887 à La Chaux de Fonds a été naturalisé français en 1930. Il est décédé à l'âge de 77 ans le 27 août 1965. Cette exposition rend hommage à son œuvre protéiforme car il était aussi peintre et sculpteur. Une de ses premières réalisations en tant qu’architecte est la villa Le Lac à Corseaux au bord du lac Léman, commandée par ses parents, construite en 1924. En 1929 à Poissy, il construit la villa Savoye, du nom d’une famille suisse, villa qui aura une très forte influence dans l'histoire de l'architecture car elle représente la mise en application de ce que Le Corbusier a défini comme les 5 principes d’une architecture moderne : l'utilisation des pilotis, le toit-terrasse, le plan libre, la fenêtre-bandeau, et la façade libre. (Photo ci-dessous, on a remarqué la ressemblance avec la Villa Noailles à Hyères, construite en 1923 par Robert Mallet Stevens) Avec la maquette ci-dessous on voit bien les conceptions de Le Corbusier, plan libre et même rejet de la circulation à l’extérieur, modularité, ce qui permettait dans son esprit de reconstruire rapidement après les destructions dues aux guerres…). Ces conceptions étaient peu appréciées d’ailleurs de ses contemporains, elles n’étaient possibles que parce que Le Corbusier maîtrisait la technique du béton acquise auprès de l’architecte Auguste Perret. « Le bol rouge », une peinture de Le Corbusier de 1919.

  • The Architecture of Le Corbusier and Herzog and De Meuron
    Traveling Studio Proposal - Spring 2018 Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning PARALLEL FACADES _ The Architecture of Le Corbusier and Herzog and De Meuron Instructor: Viola Ago Course Brief_ This travel course will take students through a trace of significant Architecture work by Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, and the duo Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron of Herzog and De Meuron (from now on HDM). This course will travel through three countries where most of the work in concentrated, Germany, Switzerland, and France. The curated list of buildings and sites has been constructed based on the utility of the façade in architecture. Both of these practices have been powerful influencers of architectural style. Le Corbusier was elementary to the emergence of Modernism and the removal of decorative arts in architecture. HDM were equally as fundamental in the evolution of Contemporary style and aesthetics in Architecture. Both contributors have used the Architectural Façade to express their aesthetic convictions and ideologies. This traveling studio will examine the Architectural Façade of Modern and Contemporary Architecture as it relates to three areas of investigation: art, technology, and agency. The visits to the sites, buildings, and collection based museums, will guide the students to collect information and knowledge on this critical part of history. The students will use the reading list as a guide to understand the current conditions of the Architectural Façade, and as a framework to inform the way in which to study the buildings that they will visit during this trip. Activity_ Traveling to sites, visiting buildings, visiting galleries, photography/sketching, taking notes, workshop participation.

Il n’existait à l’époque aucune étude critique générale sur l’œuvre de Le Corbusier, et le présent ouvrage se proposait de combler cee lacune. Lorsque je me suis engagé dans cee entreprise, les archives privées de Le Corbusier n’étaient pas accessibles. Ma documentation s’appuyait donc essentiellement sur les écrits de l’architecte et sur les huit volumes de son Œuvre complète. J’ai par ailleurs visité pratiquement tous ses bâtiments construits, vu beaucoup de ses toiles et rencon- tré un grand nombre de ses anciens collaborateurs et amis qui ont bien voulu m’aider dans ma collecte d’informations sur sa vie. Dix ans plus tard, certains passages me paraissent dépassés, autant au regard des ISBN 978-2-86364-280-1 / études publiées depuis lors que de ma propre évolution dans l’approche du sujet. J’ai donc intégré à la présente édition les données nouvelles qui m’ont paru les plus impor- tantes sur la carrière et l’œuvre de Le Corbusier, révisé certaines analyses à la lumière de mon point de vue actuel et ajouté un chapitre sur les fondements typologiques et synthèse idéologiques de l’Unité d’habitation.

  • Vernacular Serbia Traced by Jeanneret, Yugoslav Modern Figured À La Corbusier
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.565 Vernacular Serbia Traced by Jeanneret, Yugoslav Modern Figured à la Corbusier Lj. Blagojević University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture Abstract: The paper examines correlations of architectural culture in Serbia with modern ideas of the twentieth century that were engendered through engagement with concepts originated by Le Corbusier. Based on analysis of primary sources, the paper examines the dichotomy vernacular – modern as a critical point of this correlation. For instance, what was the significance of vernacular or folklore heritage, that Charles-Édouard Jeanneret traced in Serbia in 1911, and how did its value became part of the foundational discourse of the modern movement? What kind of relation to Le Corbusier’s doctrines were forged by modern architects in Serbia of the interwar years, and which lessons learned in his Parisian atelier by collaborators from the late 1930s had been transmitted far and wide in socialist Yugoslavia’s urban planning? This paper focuses on comparative analysis of direct material evidence of sources on the one side and interpretations on the other, with the aim to show more clearly a two-way working of sources, reception and selective transmission through architectural thinking and design process. In sum, the argumentation will aim to elucidate the processes of acknowledgment, emulation, idealization, analytical probing, dogmatization, critique and annihilation of Le Corbusier’s ideas in the long march of modernism’s emancipation and decline in Serbia over the course of the twentieth century. Resumen: El artículo examina las correlaciones de la cultura arquitectónica en Serbia con ideas modernas del siglo XX que se generaron a través de los conceptos originados por Le Corbusier.
