Résumé:
« Chaque journée de ma vie a été vouée en partie au dessin. Je n'ai jamais cessé de dessiner et de peindre cherchant, où je pouvais les trouver, les secrets de la forme ». En regard de son activité d'architecte, de celles de théoricien, d'homme de lettres et de peintre, la production graphique de le Corbusier est demeurée plutôt secrète. Or, la valeur esthétique, historique et scientifique de ce corpus, la variété des thèmes, des techniques et des langages stylistiques explorés en font un ensemble d'une richesse exceptionnelle dans l'histoire de l'art du XXème siècle.

Résumé:
"I asked architects to send me important images that show the basis of their work. Images that are in their head when they think. Images that show the origin of their architecture. In this book we find 44 individual 'musées imaginaires'. The most unique architects living today each present up to ten images to explain the autobiographical roots of their oeuvre. The images are explanations, metaphors, foundations, memories and intentions. They are poetic and philosophical avowals. They reveal a personal perspective on thoughts. They show the roots of architecture and expectations concerning projects. Conscious and unconscious. The biographies are written by the architects themselves. The images are small, legible and interpretable as icons. As individual collections, they present a personal view of an individual world, while as a whole they provide a universal view of the perceptible origin of contemporary architecture." – Valerio Olgiati

Résumé:
"For many years, my wife Tamara and I had been searching for a place for which we could leave our current home in the Swiss mountains on social, cultural and climatic grounds. In the Alentejo region in Portugal, we found the perfect situation. A wonderful climate, a wide empty landscape and an existing culture that we like. Here, we spend a couple of months a year. From here, we work – my wife is also an architect – close to our office in Flims. The basic idea and the all-influencing aim of our project was to create a garden, even more than a shelter, which, of course, we also have. The form of our house indeed should not primarily express ‘shelter’. It is the ‘garden’ that has to essentially find its form and that we want to experience. To date, three main forms are known to me in terms of housing. The first, ‘urban living’, I understand as living in the dense fabric of an urban setting. Then, ‘suburban living’, which takes place in a typical one-family home with a small garden in suburbia, and finally, ‘country living’, where people live socially and infrastructurally connected at large rural intervals. We excluded all three of these forms for our house. This was not what we were looking for. Our home is far away from the next town. It is disconnected in every respect. There is only the vast empty landscape around us. In Villa Além, a sense of loneliness and independence arises. It is a real retreat. I was looking for a term for this type of housing and have arrived at ‘landscape living’." – Valerio Olgiati
