Bruno Reichlin, a renowned architectural theorist, stands among the world's most distinguished figures in the field. His extensive engagement with prominent architects of the 20th century, including Eileen Gray, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Philip Johnson, and, most notably, Le Corbusier, has shaped his approach. Reichlin's methodology delves into the intricate characteristics of buildings, as well as their theoretical foundations, to provide a comprehensive understanding of their design and significance.
Through his writings and his own architectural practice, Reichlin demonstrates a profound grasp of how buildings materialize signs and symbols, employing a referential framework that encompasses literature, film, and visual art. This book, a compilation of Reichlin's 13 essays on Le Corbusier, spans four decades of his intellectual exploration. By examining examples such as the villas La Roche, Mandrot, and Savoye, the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts at Harvard University, the Petite Maison on Lake Geneva, and the project for a hospital in Venice, Reichlin delves into the depths of Le Corbusier's creativity, unveiling the underlying principles and their tangible manifestation in the realized buildings.
To enrich the reader's experience, this volume incorporates a wealth of archival materials, analytical plans, and diagrams, offering a comprehensive and detailed perspective on Le Corbusier's architectural legacy. The text is presented in French, adding an additional layer of depth and richness to the scholarly discourse.
