Resumen
Le Corbusier developed his own unique poetics of architecture, perceived and understood as an art. In LaRonchamp, due to his complete creative freedom, he found a space to express his most poetic and artistic views. The researchpaper thus analysis the Chapel as a case study, in order to clarify Corbusier’s artistic and architectural vision, ideals anddriving principles: drawing firstly from the architectural characteristics that define the space, secondly defining anintegrated set of principles that conceptualize the architecture as an art, and lastly, an analysis of the particularities thatcompose the chapel as a ‘total work of art’, analyzing the union of the arts, both in concept, form and meaning, and in theoverall context of Corbusier’s unqiue theory. Thus, the research paper aims to understand and uncover how the poetics andemotional condition lives through Ronchamp: the meaning it encases, the artistic values is sustains and the timeless ways itrecreates. The overall study has both practical and theoretical applications and implications for architects and artists with aninterest in the integration of art and architecture, as well as the conceptual connections between the arts; a vital issue in thecontemporary world for the definition of a more meaningful and sustainable environment.
