要約:This paper aims to analyze, within Le Corbusier’s creative universe, how the notion of right angle assumes different aspects until it become an important concept of his thought on the relationship between building, city and landscape. Starting from the autobiographical book The poem right angle (Le poème de l’angle droit, 1951-55), the paper intends to connect verses and images of this work to passages from Le Corbusier’s writings, conferences and trips drawings between 1911 and 1936, especially addressing his journey for Eastern Europe to Athens and those two trips to South America, where its most fruitful relationship occurred in Rio de Janeiro. By connecting this material with some emblematic works from the Purist period of his painting, such as The fireplace (La chaminée, 1918), it is revealed how the concept in question has an eminently visual dimension. With this panorama, the investigation seeks to present a right angle divided between a totalizing technical and a total freedom of creation, expressing the architect’s unresolved dilemmas.
