Mapping the Stylistic Affiliations of Le Corbusier’s Work

Abstract

[EN] The paper deals with Le Corbusier’s connection to the term “style”. A classification of his work in specific architectural styles is discussed, followed by a description of the procedure through which the style of the man Le Corbusier was constructed; in an attempt to search meaning in his continual stylistic shifts and the rationale that kept his lifetime’s work and identity strongly compact when we consider him retrospectively.
