Summary:
Initialement écrit en 1942 puis publié pour la première fois par les éditions Falaize en 1951, Poésie sur Alger revient sur les projets d urbanisme proposés par Le Corbusier au préfet d Alger, refusés par les conseils municipaux de la ville. Au-delà du traité, sa poésie réside dans le dialogue du projet d urbanisme et du visage topographique du lieu dans lequel il s inscrit, et qui l inspira profondément. Il y évoque avec émotion le patrimoine historique de la ville et son potentiel endormi, rendant plus acerbe encore son échec et le regard posé sur les projets finalement mis en place.
