Le Corbusier. Mise au Point

In 1966, Jean Petit published in "Editions Forces-Vives" a posthumous book by Le Corbusier, Mise au point, considered as his intellectual testament, since it constitutes his last writing before his death.

His title, "mise a point", translatable as "clarification", "clarification", "focus" refers us to an act of recapitulation in the last section of his life.

 However, this apparently conclusive text is made up of a very diverse material: notes, fragments of letters and essays, with texts that can be dated to 1945 and others whose echoes take us much further back in time.

Probably this twilight tone and the fragmentary character of it prompted us to borrow his title to organize a seminar on Le Corbusier

This book compiles a set of diverse writings, with very different objectives and scopes with which it is sought to contribute in some way to the knowledge of the personality and, above all, the work of a subject who gave his life to architecture.
