Toward Le Corbusier’s Thinking in Vers une Architecture

AK4_A&U_59_3-4_2025_2_Tourek

The paper attempts to analyse the thought that lies behind the book Toward an Architecture. What are the typical methods of its reflection, where are its sources of inspiration, specifically which models and thinkers; how does it treat these conscious or unconscious borrowings, and how does it compose them into an original whole – as clearly the book is informed by a certain characteristic, if syncretic, way of thinking. As such, the study attempts to contribute to an understanding of the thinking that guided the European avant-garde at the time and influenced much of Western architectural thought in the following century.
