Architecture Simple – Villa Baizeau in Carthage by Le Corbusier and Jeanneret – A dialogue between history and architectural project, a tribute to Le Corbusier‘s theoretical vision behind the design and construction of Villa Baizeau in Carthage.
The social, economic, constructional, environmental and climatic issues that, at the start of the 21st century, have called into question the foundations of the architectural project, form the theoretical background to the events devoted to the villa that Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret built in Carthage for Lucien Baizeau, Blanche Thiéblin and their family.
The book is organized around two complementary analytical perspectives. The first is devoted to the history of the villa, providing a full understanding of its reasons and meanings, genesis, theoretical importance, the role of the patron and the family joys provided by its spaces, with the aim also of gathering the knowledge necessary for its restoration as a fundamental architecture of the 20th century. The second is open to some of the greatest protagonists of architecture today, and is in keeping with Le Corbusier’s cultural strategy of always reconsidering his works in the light of contemporary phenomena, even through graphic manipulations, plan inversions and photographic reversals, in order to discover their unexpected potential. Thanks to these two axes, history and architectural design dialogue in homage to Le Corbusier’s theoretical vision.
