The book Le Corbusier. Paris n'est pas Moscou immerses us in the atmosphere of Le Corbusier's workshop, exploring the creative process that gave rise to such emblematic projects as the Centrosoyuz, the Ville Radieuse and the Palace of the Soviets. Through 120 carefully documented pages, the authors Jorge Torres Cueco, Raúl Castellanos Gómez and Pedro Ponce Gregorio offer us a critical tour of the Swiss-French master's thinking in his interaction with two antagonistic cities: modernist Paris and socialist Moscow.
This volume reveals how Le Corbusier used his work to build conceptual bridges between two opposing ideological worlds. From the geometric precision of the Centrosoyuz to the utopian ambition of the Ville Radieuse, the texts and plans collected here illuminate the tensions and continuities in his architectural and urbanistic approach.
The book not only focuses on the projects themselves, but also invites the reader to reflect on the historical and cultural context that shaped them. It discusses how Le Corbusier adopted and adapted technical and symbolic elements, from the “mur neutralisant” to urban forms inspired by nature, to respond to the needs of a constantly evolving modernity.
