| Sumario: | [EN] In light of the reflections developed by Le Corbusier through the “oeuvre plastique” and his intense relationship with the city of Venice, the gondola became the paradigm of an "artistic creation" which, while having to bow to the principles of "utility" linked to the tangible world of the "machinist era" on the one hand, on the other met the expressive requirements of "beauty" connected to the spiritual needs of modern man. The encounter with the gondola describes this "duality" which pervades all the works of Le Corbusier always in search of a synthesis between "measure" and "lyricism", representing a "plastic manifestation" that points to some theoretical principles and foundations of artistic "action", outlined through the concept of “Outil”, the expression and instrument of a necessary "harmony" between mankind and the world |
