The Complete Archive of His Legacy ONLINE The Complete Archive of His Legacy Le Corbusier (1887-1965). One of the most influential architects of the 20th century. He left behind a legacy of designs and plans, spanning almost 38,000 notes, diagrams, plans and drawings, covering his 325 projects. Fondation Le Corbusier, established in 1968, painstakingly collected these designs and plans so that Le Corbusier’s legacy can be properly passed along to future generations of architects and scholars. The high-definition digital archive, Le Corbusier Plans, was developed by Echelle-1 in partnership with Fondation Le Corbusier. Echelle-1 spent seven laborious years to digitize and catalogue the Foundation's superb collection of Le Corbusier’s lifetime of architectural works, covering his 325 projects starting from 1905 through to 1964. Now, in a world first, the master architect's complete legacy is offered as a comprehensive digital archive, available as an online research tool.

  • 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.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • 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.

  • 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.

The paper argues that urban proposals of Le Corbusier arise from the study of the history of architecture. Through a com- parison of his journey impressions with his urban projects, this paper demonstrates that the ideas and perceptions that determined Le Corbusier proposals were extracted and interpreted from the study that the young architect carried out of the settlements and cities of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean in his well-known Voyage d’Orient. Keywords: Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, Voyage, Orient, Pompeii, Buenos Aires, Domino, Rome, New York, Chandigarh. Introduction city is determined by two intersecting axes that give If you study some of the urban proposals of Le rise to a monumental centre.1 The entrances to the Corbusier, such as La Ville Contemporaine (1922), city are highlighted by enormous arches on the ends the Buenos Aires Business City (1929), the studies of the north-south axis. It is possible that the idea to urbanize Rio de Janeiro (1929) and New York of marking the entrances out with arches could have (1935), or the city of Chandigarh (1950), it could be come from Le Corbusier’s review of the city of Pompeii.
