Résumé:
Firminy is a small French mining town, and is the site of the largest collection of Le Corbusier’s architecture outside of Chandigarh, India. Monumental in scale and civic ambition at its inception, the development at Firminy followed Le Corbusier’s concept of La Ville Radieuse (the Radiant City). The buildings at Firminy were never completed due to local industrial decline, and in recent years have suffered from political manipulation and physical neglect. The current state of the site is documented in Arni Haraldsson’s photographic series from 1999. Using a historically minded and architecturally oriented curiosity, Haraldsson sets these buildings and their modernist utopianism within the frame of the local inhabitants’ conviction of the social and historical value of Corbusier’s life and work.
