This enigmatic project – unknown until now – provides an interesting insight into Le Corbusier's use of architectural references and their layers of symbolic meaning. Most documents have mysteriously disappeared, but the few remaining have allowed the project to be reconstructed rather accurately.

It also proposes that in this building Le Corbusier proved to be (contrary to what is often asserted) one of the most contextually urban oriented architects of the twentieth century.

Plasmada en una veintena de viajes trasatlánticos y en un conjunto heterogéneo de propuestas, proyectos y obras, esta relación estuvo marcada por frecuentes malentendidos y desencuentros que condicionaron la concreción de algunos de sus proyectos. No obstante, el valor de su obra americana, representada por dos obras extraordinarias –la Casa Curutchet en Argentina y el Carpenter Center en Estados Unidos— y por una serie de proyectos notables que no llegaron a materializarse, merece un tratamiento específico. Este artículo está dedicado a presentar una síntesis de la relación y recíproco desencuentro entre Le Corbusier y el continente americano. : The relationship between Le Corbusier and the American continent virtually encompasses his entire professional life. Embodied by about twenty transatlantic trips and a series of heterogeneous projects and buildings, this relationship wa...
