• Resumen

  • Very few studies have been made concerning Le Corbusier's knowledge of and his interest in sculpture. Although Le Corbusier never directly practiced sculpture, he clearly claimed the status of sculptor in “L'espace indicible,” an article published in 1946 in L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui. In the article, he supported this claim in two ways: by discussing his different projects that involved sculpture and statuary, and by referencing sculptors with whom he claimed an affinity. Indeed, the ties that Le Corbusier made with the sculptors of his time (such as Aristide Maillol, Jean Arp, and, above all, Joseph Savina) served to play an important role in his understanding and conception of space.
