Résumé:
Le Corbusier had originally intended to be a painter and his early studies were primarily focused on art and decoration. For more than five decades, Le Corbusier oscillated between contradictory poles : his fascination with mechanical objects on the one hand, and his search for poetic form on the other. The intermingling of his more private aesthetic pursuits and his more public works took place in his “secret laboratory,” inside his artist’s studio. This volume consolidates the diverse facets of his oeuvre, offering a more complete understanding of his paintings, drawings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, architectural sketches and plans - as well as his books and photographs.

Résumé:
L'ouvrage présente une succession de projets, réalisés ou en cours. Les opérations présentées alternent les échelles - de l'urbanisme à l'architecture -, les typologies et les formes architecturales. Certains projets auront alors une expression forte tandis que d'autres, plus effacés, s'affirmeront par des qualités différentes. Chacun constitue un cas particulier qui actualise la démarche. Cette dernière comprend trois axes qui donnent toute leur consistance aux projets : une prise en charge de l'hétérogène (chercher), un axe de convergence avec les acteurs (transmettre), plan de réalisation (construire). Au long de l'ouvrage, les témoignages de protagonistes ou d'utilisateurs accompagnent la présentation de quelques réalisations pour mettre en valeur un point de vue particulier.
