3 Le Corbusier and the modern city Plans for Rio de Janeiro 1929 the ville radieuse 1935 Plans for Alger

4 The city of the machinist epoch: the city floating on pilotis

5 The ville radieuse based on the principles of zoning

6 «Instead of New York, the emblematic manifestation of the machinist epoch, I propose the ville radieuse. Instead of New York and Chicago I offer the cartesian skyscraper, translucid, splendidly elegant, well-defined on the horizon of the Ile de France»

7 In 1929 Le Corbusier visits South America The view from above

8 Plans for Rio de Janeiro 1929 Geometries and cartesian forms are replaced by curves

9 RIO de Janeiro A natural linear city A ribbon along the coast A viaduct-city A city in the shape of a coastal highline 6km long and 100 metres high with dwellings 15 storeys high piled up below the road surface

10 Centenario della colonizzazione algerina 1930 CENTENARY of the Algerian Colonization

11 1930: i viaggi e i taccuini The objets à reaction poétique The feminine figure

12 Definitive departure from the previous PURIST vocabulary of forms Forms used in Alger and in the Rio Plans are linked to the new expressive structure of his paintings

13 2 1 3 Plans for ALGER A business citadel 2 Five immeubles villas 3 A viaduct/tower along the coast

18 New architectural values Departure from abstraction and reasoning New attention towards aspects linked to the materiality of the local landscape Light, winds, topography, climate

19 New architectural values Attention to history and tradition The muslim casbah is mantained Regional and local values vs internationalism

20 TOWARDS a new MONUMENTALITY of architectural forms 1927: Palace for the Society of Nations Geneva: competition entry

21 United Nations headquarters, maquette by Le Corbusier 1947 New York, , the idea is realized by the American firm Harrison & Abramowitz

22 New formal values New Monumentality of buildings The platform as a mediation between the buildings and the urban space Not the buildings per se but the buildings in relation with each other, the volume-relations between them The buildings are defined by Le Corbusier as acoustic forms: volumes resonating with each other, as instruments in a symphony

23 Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp,

24 Ronchamp actors and conditions The clients: la Commission d art sacré: father Couturier, dominican order the real estate company owned by a group of Ronchamp citizens The pre-conditions of the site and of the commission: A place with a longstanding tradition of pilgrimage The local community s attachment to the place Le Corbusier can do what he wants: the clients accord him total freedom of action

26 ORGANIC FORMS The shell roof The shell of a crustacean (crab) made by two membranes objet à reaction poétique
