- Abstract (en)
- Contends that a close analysis of his diagrams, designs, and other art work reveals how through his explorations in the two-dimensional art of painting, Le Corbusier discovered the principles of modern architectural space that were among his greatest contributions to the art of three-dimensional design. Takes as an example, a page of diagrams titled "Les 4 compositions" in the first volume of his Oeuvre complète. According to the captions these diagrams depict (1) maison La Roche in Paris, (2) maison à Garches, (3) maison à Stuttgart (villa à Carthage), and (4) villa Savoye in Poissy. Seligmann investigates what these diagrams reveal about Le Corbusier's creative process during the 1920s.
