Vers une architecture in Teaching

Vers une architecture in Teaching explores the myriad ways the 1923 book by Le Corbusier has been used in design studio courses at ETH Zurich. Through selected cases from the late 1950s to today, the material uncovers how this publication has been instrumentalised, mediated, and rejected over time. This project invites visitors to engage with original teaching documents and testimonies from architectural educators, which present the diverse and often conflicting ways Le Corbusier’s theories are remembered and reimagined.

This project resulted from a workshop with academics, practitioners, and students in the gta Archive at ETH Zurich. It is a contribution to the exhibition “Vers une architecture: Reflections”, organized by the Museum für Gestaltung, which uses Le Corbusier’s book Vers une architecture as a point of departure to engage on a series of reflections and positions.
