FAD 2018 Prize for Thought and Criticism ex-aequo
On the fiftieth anniversary of his death, this book is a tribute to the figure of the most influential architect of the twentieth century.
Through 328 pages, it offers a journey through the most diverse aspects of his work, from his relationship with nature and modern mobility to his incursion into artistic disciplines such as painting, film and furniture design. With a structure that combines historical and critical analysis, the essays address fundamental themes such as the promenade architecturale, the polychromie architecturale, and the connections between his architectural work and concepts of modernity.
Le Corbusier, described as an architect, publicist, painter, urban planner, and essayist, is presented here as a transversal creator whose works transcend the architectural to dialogue with the cultural, the political, and the social. The texts, accompanied by rich graphic documentation, invite the reader to explore unpublished itineraries in his legacy, highlighting both his achievements and the controversies that surrounded his figure.
Awarded the 2018 FAD Prize for Thought and Criticism, La Recherche Patiente is not only a book about architecture, but an intellectual journey into the heart of Le Corbusier's creative process. An essential work for architects, historians and readers interested in understanding the validity of his impact on contemporary architecture.
