Le Corbusier and the Occult
"Le Corbusier grew up in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, a city described by Karl Marx as "one unified watchmaking industry." Among the unifying social structures of La Chaux-de-Fonds was the Loge L'Amitié, the Masonic lodge with its francophone moral, social, and philosophical ideas, including the symbolic iconography of the right angle (rectitude) and the compass (exactitude). Le Corbusier would later describe these as "my guide, my choice" and as his "time-honored ideas, ingrained and deep-rooted in the intellect, like entries from a catechism." Through exhaustive research that challenges long-held beliefs, J.K. Birksted's Le Corbusier and the Occult traces the structure of Le Corbusier's brand of modernist spatial and architectural ideas based on startling new documents in hitherto undiscovered family and local archives."--Publisher.
Musée Nissim de Camondo
L'hôtel Camondo a été conçu en 1911 pour abriter les collections d'art du XVIIIe siècle du comte Moïse de Camondo. Légué en 1935 à l'Union centrale des arts décoratifs, cet hôtel, devenu musée, est aujourd'hui le témoin des grandes demeures de la plaine Monceau évoquant l'art de vivre de l'Ancien Régime.
