Monograph of the research by the Dessin/Chantier Laboratory on the La Tourette Convent by Le Corbusier. Work produced by Sérgio Ferro, Chérif Kebbal, Philippe Potié, and Cyrille Simonnet. Preface by Iannis Xenakis.
In this work, the authors analyzed the production of the convent by examining the artistic choices without dissociating them from the processes involved in its construction. Based on primary documentation and the production processes, the researchers brought together a series of factors that deconstruct the idea of disciplinary autonomy, as well as notions of model and authorship—placing architecture within a collective and social dimension of the process, rather than merely a figurative one.
