Summary:
En mai 1911, Le Corbusier débute un voyage qui le mènera à Prague, Vienne, Budapest, Istanbul, mont Athos, Athènes, puis Pompéi et Pise avant de regagner la Suisse où il construira, en souvenir de ses impressions, deux villas : l'une surnommée blanche et l'autre turque. Trois aspects caractérisent cet ouvrage et éclairent son importance : ses qualités purement littéraires, la progressive transformation de la personnalité de l'auteur au fil du parcours, le rôle de ces leçons dans son processus de conception tout au long de sa vie. Ce voyage éclaire le rapport de l'auteur entre inspiration et création. Hormis le récit qu'il tire de ses découvertes, Le Corbusier remplit plusieurs carnets de dessins, croquis et annotations (certaines pages sont reproduites dans l'ouvrage). Sa vie durant, il retournera à ces études de l'année 1911 pour ressourcer sa créativité et y puiser la matrice de ses formes nouvelles. Le récit est accompagné d'une postface analysant le rôle des voyages dans le travail de Le Corbusier et d'une introduction présentant le contexte de ce déplacement.
