Le Corbusier and the situationists: the function against a passionate life

Abstract

It is impossible to advance on the critical understanding of architecture in the 20th century without going through Le Corbusier. Situationists were perfectly aware of this and moved by an avid desire to radically transform life and cities, sought to understand, criticize and overcome Le Corbusier's character and work. This text collects, chronologically, all the occasions in which this central personality of architecture and urbanism features in the Situationist International magazines, as well as in the Potlatch magazine, of the International Lyricist, predecessor of the Situationist.

Keywords:
Situationist International; Le Corbusier; Modern architecture.
