A Arte Decorativa de Ontem: táticas e concepções projetuais de Le Corbusier na sua fase purista

Abstract

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier, developed and presented his very particular understanding of the build environment, from the interior of the home to the metropolis, in texts, sketches, models, projects and built works. In his very characteristic formulation of the Synthesis of the Arts, Corbusier refounded and redistributed the attributes of each area, each art, each discipline: Sculpture, Painting, Architecture, among others. In the relationship between Furniture and Architecture, if there was modern, functional furniture using new technologies and industrial possibilities, in Corbusier's work architecture absorbed many of the its functions, equipping the interior and open areas, increasingly and assuming hybrid and intermediate forms, in addition to the listed types described in the architect's texts. The paper shows strategies during the 1920s, within the poetics of Purism, which he developed with his friend, the painter Amédée Ozenfant.
