Cross Reflections: Architecture, Photography and Text Cross Reflections: Architecture, Photography and Text Le Corbusier’s work through Cemal Emden’s camera and further commentary... “The photograph itself is in no way animated…, but it animates me: this is what creates every adventure.” Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida A new exhibition is coming out of the Le Corbusier portfolio of architectural photographer Cemal Emden who has been working on the master architect’s oeuvre for the last five years. The exhibition that will be inaugurated in Işık Art Gallery (Istanbul) in March 2016, will put in display a number of the major works of Le Corbusier, spanning over a period of half a century. Apart from Emden’s photographs, texts by Turkish and international scholars who studied Le Corbusier’s work will also be featured in the exhibition. Emden started photographing Le Corbusier’s work in 2011, for an exhibition at SantralIstanbul commemorating the centenary of the architect’s Voyage d’Orient. Since then, he continued to explore Le Corbusier’s work through numerous shootings in Europe, Asia and America. As the architect-photographer who built the most comprehensive and up to date image portfolio of Le Corbusier’s buildings, Emden has been working in collaboration with Fondation Le Corbusier and exhibited his photographic work in various venues and media. Among these, exhibitions he realized in Ankara, Marseilles and Paris can be cited. This upcoming exhibition that will be inaugurated in March 2016 in Istanbul, with Burcu Kütükçüoğlu as curator, Fondation Le Corbusier and Association of Independent Architects-Istanbul Branch as collaborators and Seranit as the sponsor, will be an opportunity to view the current state of some of Le Corbusier’s works. In addition, the photographs and texts that form the content of the exhibition will be published in book form and a panel discussion will be organized on the opening day of the event, with the participation of a number of scholars who contributed to it with their texts. The exhibition aims to commemorate Le Corbusier’s work just after the 50th anniversary of his death and to reflect upon the interactions between architecture, photography and text. A group of photographs by Cemal Emden will be sent to selected scholars who either work on Le Corbusier’s architecture or in the fields of Visual Culture or Visual Arts. They will be asked to choose a single photograph from this group, write a caption and a short text (around 500 words) that express the reason why this specific image “attracts” or “animates” them. This format (photograph-caption- short text) is inspired by Roland Barthes’ approach in his book Camera Lucida and offers a ground for a spontaneous and subjective reflection on architecture and photography at once. The authors of the texts and captions are invited and encouraged to write their personal commentary on the images they select in a free style that clarifies the striking aspect they see in it, be it architectural or photographic or both. Apart from contributing to the exhibition with their texts, these scholars will also be part of the curatorial process as the photographic content will be formed by them to a certain extent.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Le Corbusier, La Préfecture Des Hauts-De-Seine Reste Aujourd’Hui Un Témoin Historique De La Naissance Des Départements D’Île-De-France
    Édito « Extra-ordinaire métropole » Placée sous le thème « Extra-ordinaire métropole », la deuxième édition du Mois de l’Architecture en Île-de-France se déroulera du 1er au 30 juin 2016 et proposera plus d’une centaine d’événements accessibles à tous les publics pour se retrouver dans un désir commun d’architecture. En 2016, la mise en place de la Métropole du Grand Paris, les enjeux soulevés par la COP21, et les besoins accrus de logements posent à l’architecture le grand défi partagé de la qualité de vie et d’un bien-être métropolitain. En rassemblant tous les acteurs de l’architecture – les élus, les aménageurs, les maîtres d’ouvrages publics et privés – autour d’ambitions renouvelées pour la ville, le Mois de l’Architecture a pour objectif de sensibiliser le grand public et notamment les jeunes aux enjeux et apports de l’architecture contemporaine et de mettre en lumière ce savoir-faire, cette culture d’architecture. « Extra » parce qu’à travers le travail sur la forme et l’espace, et les grands projets urbanistiques et immobiliers, la création architecturale a également le pouvoir de refaçonner le réel, de réinventer des façons de vivre et de travailler des Franciliens. « Ordinaire », parce qu’en construisant la ville, en offrant un habitat, un paysage, un cadre de vie quotidien et commun aux citadins, l’architecture contemporaine s’inscrit dans son temps, s’adapte et participe aux évolutions profondes de nos territoires et de nos mentalités. « Métropole » parce qu’une identité et une conscience métropolitaine qui transcendent le territoire ordinaire de l’aire urbaine sont en train d’émerger, parce qu’elle réinvente l’espace et le territoire, de l’ordinaire à l’extra-ordinaire.
