Una Pequena Casa

Rate this book
Este pequeño gran libro, es una lección de arquitectura y una lección de amor. Paso a paso, el maestro describe el terreno, el sitio, el emplazamiento, la planta, el espacio, los aspectos constructivos, los materiales, el paisaje, su famoso toit-jardin, y sobre todo el profundo respeto, del arquitecto creador al servicio de las necesidades del futuro usuario, en este caso nada menos que sus padres. Dice el propio Le ....Veinte años después de la construcción de esta pequeña casa, me deleité haciendo algunos dibujos. Confirman el saber arquitectónico contenido en esta simple empresa de 1923, época en la cual la búsqueda de una vivienda decente dejaba a la opinión pública indiferente. El último dibujo, fechado en el mes de septiembre de 1951, celebra los noventa y un años de mi madre.... La edición de este pequeño libro, es un homenaje a su vida y a su obra.

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier; was an architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India, and America. He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities. He was awarded the Frank P. Brown Medal and AIA Gold Medal in 1961.
Le Corbusier adopted his pseudonym in the 1920s, allegedly deriving it in part from the name of an ancestor, Lecorbésier.

Είναι μία χαρά (a joy) να μπορεί κανείς να βλέπει τα 'αυθόρμητα' σχέδια ενός μεγάλου μυαλού, όπως επίσης και να διαβάζει τις απλές, ελεύθερες, και ανθρώπινες σκέψεις του.

Adoro os desenhos dele. Achei fofo, uma explicação simples da casa que fez para os pais. Curioso o facto de primeiro ter surgido o projeto, e só depois o local.
"To lend significance to the scenery one has to restrict it and give it proportion; the view must be blocked by walls which are only pierced at certain strategic points and there permit an unhindered view".

Great. Read it in an hour. Simple, poetic, clever. Good mindset and a beautiful behind-the-scènes of a great architect!

Una lectura rápida y sencilla de la historia (o detrás de escena, como le quieras decir) de la casa de los padres de Le Corbusier.
Es un libro que simplemente fluye
