Bruno Reichlin, Dalla «soluzione elegante» all'«edificio aperto». Scritti attorno ad alcune opere di Le Corbusier
Academy of Architecture
This collection of essays traces a promenade, discontinuous and multi-directional, amid the themes, interests, curiosities and concerns that marked the creation and guided the design path of some of the works of Le Corbusier, beginning with his research in the thirties into the «elegant solution», the form of a “reticent” structure or fluid internal spatial qualities, and down to the development in the sixties of original, proliferating, «open building» compositions, above all in the trend towards receptiveness to multiple interpretations that the observer feels authorized to make on the basis of his culture.
