[EN] In the urban project of Le Corbusier the relationship between new and existing is opportunity of poetic
composition. The real traces of the past of one place are transformative tools by which the new project is developed. The
projects after World War II, like reconstruction project of Saint-Dié, are occasions to reflect about the new urban
developments, rapid and extensive, and the relation of them with the landscape in a new territorial vision. The fragments of
past and the new buildings are seen like belonging to a same context of reference and the entire urban composition forming
part of a landscape on more large scale. Therefore, the urban project is an ensemble of architectural objects and nature that
are held together by calculated visual relation. It is a kind of montage of urban views related to the dimension and measure of
the human subject, like visual points or pedestrian paths. Memory and change are linked together by the natural history
process and commensurate also to the human measure by a three dimension urbanism where the architecture can anew make
the city.
