La lección de Le Corbusier

Résumé

In the first issue of the journal Focus (1938), published by the students of the London Architectural Association, Le Corbusier wrote a short article entitled " If I had to teach you architecture", which was published in the Spanish version by Ediciones Infinito as an addendum to the Message to Architecture Students, entitled "If I had to teach you architecture". Here he stated that he would begin by prohibiting "orders", insisting on real respect for Architecture, on how moving the Acropolis or the Palazzo Farnese are, to emphasise the "fact that nobility, purity, intellectual perfection, plastic beauty and the eternal quality of proportion are the fundamental joys of architecture". He proposed, then, a lesson in architecture. This question underlies this issue of LC. Revue de recherches sur Le Corbusier.
