| Resumo: | [EN] On 3 October 1962, Le Corbusier sent a "Messaggio" to the Mayor of Venice in response to his request to participate in a forthcoming congress on "Il problema di Venezia" to which he had been invited. It is a document in which he invites reflection on how to act in a historic city as particular as Venice, which he appreciated and knew perfectly well. With this in mind, the aim is to offer an extensive documentation of his relationship with this city through his various trips, his photographs, drawings, sketches and projects, in particular the Venice Hospital, which is recognised as his design testament. The aim is to reveal the different ways in which he approached it: from the sensorial capture of its figurative aspects on his first trip in 1907, to the discovery of architectural elements such as domes or bell towers that shape its silhouette and his interest in the architecture of Palladio in 1922, or the appreciation of its urban structure "witness to its functional rigour" in 1934, to be reinterpreted in a project, the Hospital, in which the environmental and structural characteristics that define this city are revealed. In conclusion, Venice had been a lesson for Le Corbusier, an intensely poetic lesson. |
